Parker B10-5B Tru-flate Pneumatic Coupler 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The PARKER B10-5B is a hose barb style Tru-Flate automotive pneumatic coupler designed to connect air hoses to pneumatic tools and compressed air lines. Built from brass, this coupler features a 1/4 inch body diameter and accepts a 3/8 inch hose ID. It is designed for use in automotive shop environments and general-purpose pneumatic systems where a reliable, leak-resistant connection is required. The Tru-Flate style is one of the most widely recognized coupling interchange standards in the automotive and light industrial trades, making this a straightforward drop-in component for existing setups.

This coupler is suited for automotive service bays, light manufacturing, and general compressed air distribution systems. It installs on the hose end and mates with Tru-Flate style plugs found on most automotive pneumatic tools including impact wrenches, ratchets, and blow guns. The hose barb design provides a secure mechanical grip on the hose without the need for threaded fittings at the hose end, simplifying field assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pneumatic systems technician or qualified mechanic. Depressurize and bleed down the air line completely before removing or installing any coupler. Secure the hose barb onto the hose end and apply an appropriate hose clamp to retain pressure integrity. Verify that the operating pressure of the system does not exceed the rated capacity of the coupler before returning the line to service.
