Prevost Bi-Directional Air Fitting Without Gauge (OPBD201) is an essential component for any professional compressed air system. Engineered with precision in Italy, this universal swivel connector dramatically enhances the maneuverability and ease of use of your pneumatic tools. It effectively eliminates hose binding and twisting, allowing your air hose to remain straight and unhindered, which translates into optimal tool performance and reduced operator fatigue. The unique design incorporates a dual 360° rotational capability—both ends of the fitting swivel completely, and the two-piece body itself also rotates 360 degrees. This provides unparalleled flexibility, even when working in confined or challenging environments. Constructed from a high-quality aluminum body with nickel-plated brass connections, the OPBD201 is built for longevity and consistent performance in demanding industrial and business settings. It ensures a stable, leak-free connection and maintains excellent airflow with minimal pressure drop, making it a superior choice for serious professionals.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Exceptional Maneuverability: Features dual 360° rotation on both ends and within the two-piece body, providing unrestricted movement and preventing hose twists.
- Optimized Tool Performance: Keeps air hoses straight, allowing pneumatic tools to operate at their full potential without the hindrance of tangled lines.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed with 1/4″ Male NPT and 1/4″ Female NPT threads for broad compatibility with various pneumatic tools and air hoses.
- Robust Construction: Made from an aluminum body with nickel-plated brass connections, ensuring high strength and resistance to wear for prolonged service life.
- Reliable Airflow: Facilitates non-directional air flow with minimal pressure drop, ensuring consistent and efficient operation of your pneumatic equipment.
- Leak-Free Connection: Precision engineering and Teflon-coated threads (where applicable) ensure tight seals, preventing air leaks and maintaining system efficiency.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Part Number: OPBD201
- Thread Size: 1/4″ NPT (Male and Female)
- Material: Aluminum body, Nickel-plated Brass connections
- Included: Prevost Bi-Directional Air Fitting Without Gauge (OPBD201)
HOW TO USE:
- Prepare Your Tools: Ensure your pneumatic tool and air hose are disconnected from any air supply.
- Attach to Tool: Thread the 1/4″ Male NPT end of the Prevost OPBD201 into the air inlet of your pneumatic tool. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure it, ensuring a snug but not overtightened connection.
- Connect Air Hose: Thread the 1/4″ Female NPT end of your air hose onto the 1/4″ Male NPT thread of the Prevost OPBD201. Again, hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a secure seal.
- Connect to Air Supply: Connect the other end of your air hose to your compressor or air supply.
- Test Connection: Slowly open the air supply valve and check for any air leaks at the connections. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly more.
- Operate Tool: With all connections secure and no leaks, your pneumatic tool is now ready for use with enhanced maneuverability.
