What is a Chicago fitting for air hoses?
A Chicago fitting (also called a Duck’s foot fitting due to its shape) is a one quarter turn fitting used for attaching hoses or piping together. Chicago fittings are used on both low to medium pressure gas and fluid lines.
Are all Chicago fittings the same size?
Chicago hose couplings are are called universal type because they connect to each other, across a range of hose sizes. A 1 inch Chicago coupling will mate with a 1/2 inch Chicago coupling. There are no male and female types, further simplifying the connection and your inventory.
How do Chicago couplings work?
Chicago fittings feature a rubber seal that is inserted into both parts of the fitting, allowing the fitting to provide a positive leak proof connection. Chicago fittings are designed for air and water service.
What is a Thor fitting?
Thor couplings are a locking quick coupling that offers a safe and secure positive locking feature for pneumatic & fluid hose in applications up to 300 PSI.
What is QRC coupling?
QRC is short name of Quick release couplings or Quick disconnecting couplings or Quick couplings. QRC is available in ISO 7241 A type & ISO 7241 B type as per standards. QRC corrosion resistant coupling come with single & double shut off valves for avoiding leakage.
What is a Minsup?
Minsup claw couplings are a universal hose coupling that provide quick, safe and reliable connections. Claw couplings are most commonly used for conveying air and water, and are not to be used for steam applications.
How does an Oldham coupling work?
Oldham couplings transmit torque by mating the slots on the center disk to the drive tenons on the hubs. They accommodate angular and axial misalignment, and are especially useful in applications where parallel misalignment is present.
What is QRC connection?
QRC is short name of Quick release couplings or Quick disconnecting couplings or Quick couplings. QRC corrosion resistant coupling come with single & double shut off valves for avoiding leakage.

How do you use a Chicago coupling on a hose?
We offer Chicago couplings in 2-lug and 4-lug styles in plated malleable iron, brass, and 316 stainless steel, as well as Chicago coupling-compatible hose clamps and replacement parts & accessories. The original quarter-turn claw type hose quick coupling, just press two couplings together firmly and twist.
What are Chicago fittings?
Chicago fittings feature a rubber seal that is inserted into both parts of the fitting, allowing the fitting to provide a positive leak proof connection. Chicago fittings are designed for air and water service.
What is the pressure rating for the hose and coupling?
Send us a message, we enjoy a good hose and coupling challenge and will reply in the same business day. The pressure rating for all Chicago couplings is 150 PSI, and all are rated for compressed air or water service only. Do not use for steam service!
What is the pressure rating for a Chicago type coupling?
The pressure rating for all Chicago couplings is 150 PSI, and all are rated for compressed air or water service only. Do not use for steam service! All Chicago type couplings include safety clips, please use them along with a hose safety restraint in all applications.
