Quick Coupler Grainger Low Loss 1/4 in MxF 90° Quick-Connect Fitting

Description

Product Overview

The Grainger Quick Coupler is engineered to provide a low‑loss, 90‑degree connection for 1/4‑inch MxF (Male‑to‑Female) hose assemblies. Constructed from high‑grade brass with a polished finish, the fitting resists corrosion and wear in demanding industrial environments. Its compact dimensions—2 × 1 × 1 inches and weighing just one pound—allow it to fit into confined spaces without sacrificing performance. The design incorporates a precision‑machined internal pathway that minimizes turbulence, reducing pressure drop and preserving flow efficiency. Certified by Grainger for quality, this coupler meets rigorous standards for hydraulic and pneumatic applications, ensuring a leak‑free seal when paired with compatible quick‑connect or barbed hose components. The product is ideal for refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid‑transfer systems where reliability and ease of service are paramount.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Quick Coupler excels in a range of settings. In commercial refrigeration units, it links evaporator and condenser lines, delivering consistent coolant flow while simplifying maintenance. HVAC technicians appreciate the 90‑degree angle, which enables routing around obstacles and reduces the need for additional fittings. In pneumatic tools and machinery, the low‑loss design helps maintain system pressure, extending the life of compressors and reducing energy consumption. The coupler’s quick‑connect feature allows for rapid assembly and disassembly, making it a preferred choice for field service where downtime must be minimized. Whether installed in a factory floor, a cold‑storage warehouse, or a mobile refrigeration unit, the fitting provides dependable performance under temperature extremes and vibration.

FAQ

What hose sizes are compatible with this coupler?

The coupler is sized for 1/4‑inch MxF (Male‑to‑Female) hoses, which are common in refrigeration and pneumatic applications. It works with standard quick‑connect and barbed hose ends that match this dimension.

Is the fitting suitable for high‑temperature environments?

Yes. The brass material is rated for temperatures up to 250 °F (121 °C), making it appropriate for most industrial heating and cooling cycles. For extreme temperatures, verify system specifications before installation.

Can the coupler be used in both liquid and gas applications?

Absolutely. Its sealed design handles both liquid coolant and compressed gas without leakage, provided the system pressure stays within the rated limits of the fitting.

How does the 90‑degree angle affect flow performance?

The 90‑degree angle is engineered with a smooth internal radius to reduce turbulence. While any bend introduces some pressure loss, the low‑loss geometry of this coupler keeps the impact minimal, preserving overall system efficiency.

What warranty does Grainger provide for this product?

Grainger offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should any issue arise, contact Grainger customer service for a replacement or repair, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
