Coilhose Pneumatics 6-226 Pneumatic Hose Coupling 1/4 in

Product Description

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS 6-226 is a brass pneumatic hose coupling designed for use in compressed air systems requiring a Moldflow interchange connection. Built as a 45-degree, non-valved coupler with a hose barb thread type, this fitting connects air hoses to pneumatic tools and equipment without an internal shutoff valve. The body diameter measures 1/4 inch and the hose barb accommodates a 3/8-inch inside diameter hose. Brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in typical shop and industrial environments. This coupler is sold individually and is a common component in pneumatic distribution setups assembled and maintained by maintenance technicians and industrial mechanics.

This coupling is suited for light to medium-duty compressed air applications in shop, manufacturing, and service environments. The 45-degree angle reduces hose stress at the connection point, which is useful in tight routing situations or where hose flexibility is a concern. The non-valved design means air flows freely when the hose is connected and stops at the tool or downstream valve, making it appropriate for systems where line pressure is managed at another point. Typical installers include industrial maintenance personnel, pneumatic system assemblers, and experienced service technicians.

Key Features

• 45-degree coupler angle reduces hose bend stress at the connection point
• Non-valved design allows unrestricted airflow through the coupling body
• Moldflow interchange type for compatibility with Moldflow-standard pneumatic fittings
• Hose barb thread type secures 3/8-inch inside diameter air hose without additional hardware
• Brass body construction resists corrosion in compressed air service
• 1/4-inch body diameter fits standard pneumatic coupling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit coupling for pneumatic systems using Moldflow interchange standard fittings with a 1/4-inch body diameter and 3/8-inch ID hose barb connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified maintenance technicians or pneumatic system assemblers. Before servicing any pneumatic connection, depressurize the air line completely and verify zero pressure at the work point. Secure the hose barb to the appropriate 3/8-inch inside diameter air hose using a suitable hose clamp to prevent blowoff under pressure. Confirm all fittings meet the pressure rating of the system before returning to service.
