The PCL Airflow Series is the original quick-release coupling, refined over 75 years to set the benchmark for quality and reliability in the UK. Manufactured in Sheffield, these couplings are built to the highest standards, ensuring exceptional performance and longevity in compressed air systems.
Crafted from hardened steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, the Airflow Coupling is designed for fixed applications, making it ideal for use in workshops, industrial settings, and engineering environments. Its single-action connection ensures quick and efficient operation, enhancing productivity while maintaining a secure and durable connection.
Key Features
Material: Hardened steel with a corrosion and scratch-resistant coating
Connection Type: Single-action quick-release mechanism for secure and effortless coupling
Compatibility: Designed for UK Standard Adaptors
Application Type: Fixed applications – ideal for use over workbenches or within compressed air pipework
Manufactured in the UK: Precision-engineered in Sheffield
Are PCL Airflow and Vertex compatible?
No, Airflow and Vertex couplings are not directly interchangeable because they are designed for different applications.
The Airflow couplings are designed specifically for fixed applications such as use over workbenches or within compressed air pipework. They feature a single-action quick-release mechanism. On the other hand, the Vertex range is generally designed for trailing hose applications, meaning they are often used in situations where flexibility and movement are required, rather than fixed installations. They utilise a double-action quick-release mechanism.
However, both Airflow and Vertex couplings are compatible with UK Standard Adaptors, meaning they can be used within the same system as long as the correct adaptors are used. If you are looking to integrate both within a setup, it is crucial to ensure the correct coupling type is selected based on the application.
