Description & SelectionSockets/Plugs DefinedSocket: Also referred to as “Coupling”, “Connector” or “QuickDisconnect”. A socket consists of a spring-loaded shutoff valve and apositive locking mechanism. It is used to connect equipment to a fluid,such as compressed air, through a mating plug.Plug: Also referred to as “Connector” or “Nipple”. The mating device thatis inserted into the socket and locked to complete the connection. Plugsare unvalved, exhausting downstream line at disconnection.End ConnectionSleeveSOCKET (COUPLER)Body (capacity)End ConnectionStylePLUG (CONNECTER)TypeSINGLE SHUT-OFF (One-Way): Socket only is valved to shut off supplyline at disconnection. Plug is unvalved, exhausting downstream line atdisconnection. Most applications use the single shutoff type. Socketshould be installed on the pressurized side of the line.OperationMANUAL SOCKET: Socket sleeve must be manually retracted to engageand disengage a plug.AUTOMATIC SOCKET: Simply push the plug into the socket to connect.Manually retract sleeve to disengage plug.SAFETY SOCKET: Allows connection and disconnection at “0” pressure.Plug is securely locked before valve is opened; downstream line isexhausted before plug is removed, eliminating hose “kick”. Full-BoreSeries are safety vent sockets.Styles & InterchangeabilityThe style or interchange of plug in use will determine the socket style.There are several styles used throughout industry today, each developedand made popular by a specific manufacturer. Key identification featuresare the length of the nose and type of locking groove.Selection1. IDENTIFY/SELECT THE PLUG DESIGN: Choose the socket and plugstyle desired, or determine the style plug in use (by the key identificationfeatures described above) to select the socket required.2. DETERMINE THE PROPER SIZE (CAPACITY) REQUIRED: Determinevolume of air required (scfm) at the applied pressure and match to thecapacity socket and plug, or match inside diameter of hose used to thesocket capacity. Do not design in choke points, such as a 1/2” hose I.D.with a 1/4” capacity QD. This restricts air flow, reducing equipment performance.The capacities of the mating socket and plug must be the same.3. SELECT THE DESIRED SOCKET OPERATION: Automatic Sockets arefaster and easier to use. Safety Sockets, with a venting feature, are particularlyattractive for higher pressure, larger hose diameter applications.4. SELECT THE SIZE AND TYPE END CONNECTION: The size and typeof connection at the end of the pipe, hose or inlet port will determine theend connection needed on the socket or plug. NOTE: Sockets and plugswith hose barb end connection require the use of a hose clamp.4
Socket & Plug Identification210, 310, MS, High-Flow, and Full-Bore Socket & Plug RecognitionShown are different plug styles for single-valved, sleeve-type Quick-Connective couplings. The shape and configuration of theplug nose controls whether interchange can be achieved between sockets and plugs made by different manufacturers.210 Series SocketTwo identical knurled bands on the sleeve.Pin-type locking mechanism.Available in 1/4” capacity only.Use with 1/4” capacity - <strong>Aro</strong> 210 interchange plugs.1/4” Size 3/8” Size 1/2” Size310 Series SocketOne wide knurled bands on the rear of the sleeve.Pin-type locking mechanism.Available in 3/8” capacity only.Use with 3/8” capacity - <strong>Aro</strong> 310 interchange plugs.MS Series SocketThree identical knurled bands on the sleeve.Pin-type locking mechanism.Available in 1/4” capacity only.Use with industrial interchange plugs.High-Flow Series SocketThree identical knurled bands on the sleeve.Ball-type locking mechanism.Protective sleeve guard cap on front end.Available in 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” capacities.Use with industrial interchange plugs.Full-Bore Series SocketSteel sleeve to open and close air passage.Ball-type locking mechanism.Available in 3/8” and 1/2” capacities.Use with industrial interchange plugs.5
