Product Description

Air Hose Coupling: Claw type air hose coupling is a common type. European compressor claw couplings are manufactured from iron and then zinc passivated for protection. These units have a universal lock head and are available with BSP female threads, BSPT male threads or a hose tail. They are supplied with a black rubber gasket and are used throughout the UK and Europe.


American compressor claw couplings are made from iron and then zinc passivated for protection. They look similar to the European type but have a different distance between the locking lugs. They also incorporate holes in the unit housing so 2 fittings can be locked together with a safety clip to prevent accidental disconnection. These fittings are widely used offshore and are sometimes referred to as 'crows foot' or 'Chicago' couplings. Ideal for compressed air transfer, connecting pneumatic tools and pneumatic systems, water systems in the industry, at construction sites, agriculture and horticulture.

  • The couplings are made of high grade carbon steel.
  • Both US type and European type configurations are fully supported and available.
  • The locking jaws are heavy duty with a large bulk surface designed to prevent bending or breaking loose.
  • Couplings are highly compatible and interchangeable between various sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is an Air Hose Coupling?

An Air Hose Coupling (often called a claw or Chicago coupling) is a heavy-duty quick connect coupler designed for high-pressure air systems, pneumatic tools, and water line connections in harsh industrial environments.

QWhat is the difference between European and American type claw couplings?

While they look similar, they have different spacing between the locking lugs (claws). American type couplings also feature safety holes in the housing so they can be securely locked together using a safety clip to prevent accidental disconnection during high-pressure operation.

QAre European and American style couplings interchangeable?

No, due to the different distance between their interlocking claws, European and American type couplings cannot be mated together. Ensure you verify your regional standard requirement when ordering.

QWhat materials are these couplings made of?

They are manufactured from high-quality cast iron, malleable steel, or carbon steel, and are finished with a zinc passivation coating to protect against rust, corrosion, and wear.

QCan these couplings handle water distribution?

Yes, in addition to compressed air transmission, they are highly suitable for industrial water systems, horticulture, construction sites, and agricultural irrigation.

QDo you provide OEM services or product samples?

Yes, we support OEM customization according to your target specifications. Quality evaluation samples are also available upon request.
