How to Choose PCL Hose Fittings & Adaptors

Choose a PCL fitting by coupling family, hose bore and thread connection. Use this guide to match the fitting to the airline rather than relying on appearance alone.

Family + hose bore + port

PCL offers several coupling families, so identify the system first and then confirm the mechanical connection.

1

Identify the PCL range

Look for InstantAir, XF-Euro or another stated PCL connection family.

2

Measure hose bore

Hose tails are selected against the internal diameter of the hose.

3

Check threads

Confirm male or female BSP and the nominal size.

4

Check application

Consider airflow demand, tool use and whether a swivel or fixed adaptor is preferable.

Buying guidance

What should you check before ordering?

Use the selection points below to narrow the range before comparing individual products.

PCL coupling families

PCL produces more than one quick-release profile. The family name or existing coupling reference is therefore an important part of selection.

  • Keep plug and socket profiles compatible.
  • Use the existing workshop system as your reference when adding outlets or tools.
  • If converting a system, plan the change rather than mixing fittings randomly.

Hose bore and airflow

The hose bore and fitting restriction both affect how much air can reach the tool.

  • Match hose tails to the hose internal diameter.
  • High-demand air tools may benefit from larger-bore hose and suitable high-flow fittings.
  • Avoid unnecessary reducers where airflow matters.

Threaded adaptors

Threaded adaptors connect quick-release fittings to regulators, manifolds, tools and other pneumatic components.

  • Check thread gender before ordering.
  • Confirm BSP size from the component specification where possible.
  • Use appropriate sealing methods without allowing sealant to enter the airflow path.
Product finder

Browse PCL Hose Fittings & Adaptors

Search by part number, size or a keyword from the product description.

Tip: a short part-number fragment often finds the right product faster than a long description.

No matching products found. Try a shorter part number or broader keyword.
Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you choose

How do I know which PCL profile I have?

Check the part reference, coupling markings and the shape of the existing plug and socket. Where uncertain, compare against the stated PCL family before ordering.

What hose size should I choose?

Use the internal hose diameter required by the tool and system flow demand, then select a matching hose-tail fitting.

Can a threaded adaptor change coupling family?

A thread adaptor changes the mechanical thread connection; it does not make incompatible quick-release profiles compatible.

Still not sure which one you need?

Send Tanair the existing part reference, equipment details and a clear photograph where useful. We can help you narrow the correct option before you order.
