With a focus on consistent airflow and secure sealing, the Amflo C1 coupler helps maintain optimal performance of your pneumatic equipment, reducing pressure loss and enhancing productivity.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Robust Construction: Features plated steel for the coupler body, along with hardened steel balls and stainless steel springs, contributing to its overall strength and operational life.
• Enhanced Plug Life: Coupler plugs are heat treated, which helps reduce wear on crucial mating surfaces, ensuring a consistent and reliable connection over time.
• Broad Interchangeability: The automotive series design allows this coupler to interchange seamlessly with Tru-Flate 10 and 100 type series, as well as units from other manufacturers adhering to the same standard.
• High-Pressure Capability: Capable of handling a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI, suitable for a variety of demanding pneumatic applications.
• Optimal Airflow: Designed with tubular valve construction that enables more air to pass through at lower pressure drops, maximizing the efficiency of your pneumatic tools.
• Secure Sealing: Utilizes a spring-loaded, air-assisted valve that strengthens the coupler’s seal as line pressure increases, providing a completely airtight connection.
• Reduced Disconnects: Includes a sleeve guard that helps minimize the risk of accidental disconnections during operation.
• Improved Fit and Alignment: Features extra locking ball bearings that contribute to a tighter fit and better alignment, enhancing the stability of the connection.

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare Your Air Line: Ensure your air compressor is off and depressurized. Identify the air hose or tool that requires a quick-connect coupler.
• Attach to Air Source/Tool: Thread the 1/4″ MNPT end of the Amflo C1 coupler into the female NPT port of your air hose, manifold, or pneumatic tool. Use thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) for an airtight seal, wrapping it clockwise around the threads before tightening.
• Tighten Securely: Use a wrench to tighten the coupler securely. Avoid overtightening, but ensure it is snug enough to prevent leaks.
• Connect to Plug: To connect a corresponding air plug, grasp the outer sleeve of the Amflo C1 coupler.
• Insert Plug: Push the air plug firmly into the coupler until you hear or feel a click, indicating that the locking balls have engaged and the connection is secure.
• Verify Connection: Gently tug on the plug to ensure it is firmly seated and won’t disconnect easily.
• Disconnecting: To disconnect, slide the outer sleeve of the coupler back, then pull the plug out. Always ensure the air line is depressurized before disconnecting for safety.
