How to Choose PCL Compressed Air & Workshop Equipment
Use the job, connection type, fluid or air service and required operating range to narrow PCL workshop equipment and accessories.
Start with the system or workshop task
PCL covers more than airline fittings, so first identify whether the job is air connection, tyre inflation, fluid handling or another workshop function.
Define the workshop task
Separate tyre inflation, airline connection, fluid dispensing and other workshop functions before comparing products.
Check connections
Confirm thread type and size, hose dimensions or coupling profile where relevant.
Check the medium
Equipment intended for compressed air is not automatically suitable for oil, AdBlue or other fluids.
Confirm operating range
Check pressure, flow, measurement range and other product limits against your application.
A practical way to navigate a broad PCL range
The PCL range spans several workshop functions. The quickest route to the right product is to identify the task first and then verify every physical connection and operating requirement.
Information to check before ordering
- Workshop task or process
- Compressed air, oil or other service medium
- Thread/coupling/hose connection
- Required pressure or measurement range
- Mounting or installation method
- Any accessories required to complete the installation
Avoid the expensive shortcut
Similar-looking products are not automatically interchangeable. Use the product reference and application information together rather than selecting from appearance alone.
Choose by the job, not just the product name
These broad groups explain the main differences to think about before you jump into the product directory.
Airline connections & accessories
Match coupling profile, thread and hose dimensions so the connection is mechanically compatible with the rest of the airline.
Tyre inflation equipment
Check pressure range, hose arrangement, connector style and mounting format for the workshop or vehicle application.
Fluid & workshop equipment
For pumps and dispensing products, confirm the fluid, container arrangement and compatible hose/nozzle components.

Quick answers before you choose
Are all PCL couplings interchangeable?
No. Couplings and adaptors can use different profiles and thread sizes. Match the system standard already in use.
Can compressed-air equipment be used for fluids?
Do not assume so. Check the intended medium and product specification before use.
What should I record before replacing a workshop fitting?
Note the product reference, thread or hose size, coupling profile and the equipment it connects to.
Not sure which one you need?
Send Tanair the product reference, vehicle or equipment details and a clear photograph where useful. We can help you narrow the correct option before you order.
