Pneumatic Safety Couplers
For compressed air systems, safety couplers are essential for providing safe disconnection. They utilize a two-stage release mechanism, preventing hose whip and accidental air bursts by stopping disconnection capabilities until after additional compressed air supplies have been released. As a supplier of high-performance pneumatic components, Universal Power Conversion offers a range of quick-connect safety couplers to meet your needs.

What is a Safety Coupler?
Pneumatic safety couplers are critical components with a specialized quick-connect design for compressed air tool operation. They provide increased safety, preventing sudden hose whip when disconnecting air lines. Compared to standard couplers, which use a single-stage release, safety couplers have a two-stage release system to vent the downstream air pressure before allowing disconnection.Quick Connect Safety Coupler Product Features & Benefits
- Features two-stage disconnect to prevent sudden hose whip
- Vents residual air pressure safely before disconnection
- Complies with ISO 4414 and OSHA safety guidelines for operation
- Reduces tool and system wear by managing pressure spikes
- Quick and easy to use, making them ideal for fast-paced work environments
