Parker 1C Pneumatic Hose Coupling 1/4 in Tru-flate

Product Description

The PARKER 1C is a steel pneumatic hose coupling in the Tru-Flate Automotive interchange series, designed for connecting compressed air lines in shop and industrial environments. This connector-style coupler features a 1/4-inch body diameter, a female NPTF thread size of 1/8-27, and a zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pneumatic equipment technicians use this fitting to establish secure, leak-resistant connections in compressed air distribution systems.

The PARKER 1C is suited for use in residential and light commercial compressed air systems wherever Tru-Flate Automotive interchange compatibility is required. Typical applications include air compressor outlets, pneumatic tool connections, and workshop air supply lines. The Series 10 designation places this coupler within a standardized family of Tru-Flate-compatible fittings, making it a direct-fit option in systems already using that interchange standard. Its compact 1.28-inch overall length allows installation in tight plumbing configurations without sacrificing flow integrity.

Key Features

• 300 psi maximum working pressure rated for standard compressed air service
• Steel construction with zinc chromate finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compact 1.28-inch overall length fits confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on connector for compressed air systems using the Tru-Flate Automotive interchange standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compressed air systems. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before removing or installing any coupling. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPTF threads as required by the system design and applicable codes. Do not exceed the rated 300 psi working pressure or the maximum temperature of 250 degrees F.
