Parker BD-S23-1 Pneumatic Hose Coupling 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The PARKER BD-S23-1 is a steel pneumatic hose coupling designed for use in compressed air and pneumatic tool applications. This coupler features a 1/4-18 inch threaded connection and a 1/4 inch body diameter, conforming to the Industrial Interchange standard for broad cross-brand compatibility. The zinc chromate finish provides corrosion resistance in typical shop and industrial environments. Licensed plumbing and mechanical contractors, as well as industrial maintenance technicians, routinely install this type of fitting to connect pneumatic hoses, air tools, and compressed air lines.

This coupling is suited for both light industrial and commercial pneumatic systems where Industrial Interchange-style quick-connect fittings are the standard. The 1/4 inch body size is one of the most common configurations in compressed air distribution, making the BD-S23-1 a straightforward replacement or service fitting for air compressor outlets, drop lines, and portable air tool connections. It is sold and shipped individually.
