Universal Air Hose Couplings

Product Overview

Universal Air Hose Couplings belongs to marine store group 35, Hose & Couplings. Brass and stainless air hose couplings, lock type couplings, line and branch couplers and quick connect socket and plug sets, listed under IMPA group 35.

Key Benefits

• Socket and plug families listed with the IMPA code for both SUS304 and #45 steel bodies
• Hose end and threaded end variants shown side by side
• Type A and Type B end types stated so mating parts can be confirmed
• Brass, lock type and universal couplings kept in the same group

Problems It Solves

• Air leaks at the coupling that starve a scaling tool of pressure
• Sockets and plugs from different type families that will not mate
• Brass fittings failing where a stainless or steel body was required
• No reference code on board, so the replacement never matches

Who It Is For

• Engineers maintaining service air lines
• Bosuns running pneumatic deck tools
• Ship chandlers supplying engine room stores
• Shipyard and repair teams

Application Scenarios

• Service air lines for deck and engine room
• Pneumatic scaling and needle gun supply lines
• Tank cleaning and hold cleaning gun supply
• Workshop air distribution

Technical Features

The technical detail for this line is published exactly as the manufacturer issued it, in the specification sheet below. We do not restate figures in our own words, so what you read here is what the maker states.

Materials

Material is stated per code on the specification sheet where the manufacturer publishes it. Where a choice exists in this group — for example brass against stainless, or wool against acrylic — both options carry their own code so you can order the one the duty needs.

Customization Options

Sizes, quantities, packing and marking are confirmed at order stage. Where a line exists in more than one size, rating or material, tell us the duty and we will point you at the right code rather than sending the nearest one.

How This Item Reaches You

• Your requisition line is matched to the catalogue code and any missing size, rating or material is queried before quoting
• The item is drawn from our supply base around Suzhou, a large mechanical manufacturing area in Jiangsu
• Quantity, size and marking are checked against the specification sheet before packing
• Packed and marked as part of one consignment with the rest of your store order
• The packing list carries the same codes as your requisition so receiving on board is a straight tick-off

Quality Control Before Shipment

• Code and quantity verified against the confirmed order
• Dimensions and ratings checked against the manufacturer specification sheet
• Visual check for transit damage, corrosion and packaging condition
• Photographs of the packed goods sent on request before dispatch

Documentation

The following can be issued with the shipment on request: commercial invoice, packing list, the manufacturer specification sheet for each line, and certificate of origin where the destination requires one. Where a manufacturer issues a certificate for a specific item — for example the EC certificate referenced on the chemical protection suit sheet — that certificate is supplied with the goods. We do not claim certification an item does not carry.

Comparison Within This Group

Group 35 carries 7 items. Where two lines look similar, the difference is usually material, size or rating rather than function. The quickest way to compare is to open the sibling products below and read the two specification sheets side by side, or send us both codes and we will tell you which suits the duty.

Use Guide

Confirm the size, rating or material against the vessel's existing fitting before ordering, note the catalogue code in the ship's inventory when the item is received, and reorder against that code. Doing this once turns every later reorder into a one line message.
