Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Euro and standard PCL air fittings?
What is the difference between Euro and standard PCL air fittings?
PCL and Euro are two of the most common quick-release air fitting profiles, but they are not interchangeable. Standard PCL fittings are a traditional UK standard, ideal for general workshop tasks. Euro fittings (often known as high-flow profiles) feature a slightly wider bore that allows a greater volume of air to pass through quickly. Euro fittings are highly recommended for high-demand tools like impact wrenches or spray guns that require maximum air delivery.
Should I choose a recoil hose or a straight rubber air hose?
Should I choose a recoil hose or a straight rubber air hose?
Recoil hoses (coiled like a spring) automatically retract when not in use. They are perfect for bench work, assembly lines, or small garages where keeping the floor tidy and trip-free is a priority. Straight rubber or PVC hoses are better suited for large workshops or outdoor sites where you need maximum reach, heavy-duty abrasion resistance, and no spring-back resistance when pulling the tool across the floor.
How do I stop my air fittings from leaking at the threads?
How do I stop my air fittings from leaking at the threads?
Even premium fittings will leak air if the threaded metal-to-metal connections aren't sealed properly. Whenever you screw a male thread into a female port, you must wrap the male thread tightly with PTFE tape or apply a specialist liquid thread sealant/locknut adhesive before assembly. This fills the microscopic gaps in the machined threads, ensuring a 100% airtight seal that prevents your compressor from running unnecessarily.
