Description

Overview

The Nitto style automatic socket provides a quick female connection for compressed-air equipment while its 1/4 NPT male thread screws into a matching female port. The push-to-connect body suits setups where tools or hoses are changed regularly and a straight threaded socket is required.

Features

• Automatic push-to-connect action for faster plug changes.
• Female Nitto-style socket profile for a matching male plug.
• 1/4 NPT male thread for installation into a compatible female port.
• Internal valve closes the socket when the plug is disconnected.

Specifications and Materials

This fitting combines an automatic female quick coupler, a straight body and a 1/4 NPT male threaded connection. The hex sections provide spanner surfaces for installation without loading the sliding coupling sleeve.

Part number: 08-GA20SM.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the Nitto style automatic socket to the existing plug profile, 1/4 NPT female port and available installation clearance. The main ordering risks are confusing Nitto-style plugs with another quick-coupler profile or substituting a similar-looking 1/4 BSPT thread. Confirm the thread standard before fitting because NPT and BSPT threads must not be treated as interchangeable.

Compliance and Safety

Isolate and depressurise the air supply before removing or installing the coupler. Hold the lower hex while tightening, keep tools away from the sliding sleeve and use thread sealant suitable for compressed-air service. Inspect the mating plug for wear or damage, then reconnect the line and test the threaded joint and socket for leaks.

Trailer Applications

Workshops can use this coupling on compressor outlets, hose reels, service benches, mobile repair equipment and auxiliary air-tool connections. It also suits trailer and heavy-vehicle workshops that need a removable connection for tyre inflation, cleaning or pneumatic tools, provided the plug profile, thread and system rating all match.
