Sockets are sleeve-lock style. To connect, slide back the sleeve on the socket, insert the plug, and release the sleeve. To disconnect, slide back the sleeve and pull out the plug.
Plugs and sockets with a clamp-on barbed end insert into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Zinc-plated steel plugs are stronger and more durable than other metal plugs. They have fair corrosion resistance, so they should be used primarily in dry environments. Brass plugs and sockets are softer than other metal plugs and sockets, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel plugs and sockets have very good corrosion resistance. They’re the best choice for high-humidity environments.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
