This PCL InstantAir Swivel Body Male Adaptor (AA5302) is designed for professionals needing reliable compressed air connections in fixed applications. Its key benefit is the swivel feature, preventing hose kinking and extending hose life, though it is not recommended for trailing hose applications where a swivel adaptor is preferred. This steel adaptor offers secure bayonet couplings and robust performance for consistent airflow.

The swivel body allows the adaptor to rotate, which prevents the connected air hose from kinking and twisting. This reduces wear on the hose and ensures a consistent air supply.
It is suitable for most fixed compressed air applications. However, for trailing hose applications where the hose is frequently moved, a different type of coupling may be more appropriate to prevent excessive wear on the adaptor itself.
The air inlet thread type is Male, with a size of 1/4" BSP.
It can handle a maximum working pressure of 17 bar when static (not rotating) and 10 bar under continuous rotation.
This PCL InstantAir adaptor is manufactured in Sheffield, UK.
Yes, it has a maximum flow rate of 54 cfm at 100 psi, making it suitable for many air tools that operate within this capacity.
The adaptor is made from durable steel.
Ensure the 1/4" BSP male thread is securely tightened. Check the condition of any thread sealant used and reapply if necessary. Inspect the female port for damage.
Check the bayonet coupling for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean the coupling thoroughly. Ensure the hose end fitting is compatible and not damaged.
Verify that the air supply pressure is adequate. Check that the adaptor and connected hose are clear of internal blockages. Ensure the flow rate limit (54 cfm @ 100 psi) is not exceeded.
Inspect the swivel joint for dirt or grit. Clean the area around the swivel. In cases of persistent stiffness, consult the manufacturer for potential lubrication or replacement recommendations, ensuring the correct procedure is followed to avoid damage.
Setup: The AA5302 adaptor features a 1/4" BSP male thread, which is a standard fitting. To install, simply screw the male thread into the corresponding female 1/4" BSP port on your compressed air system or hose. Ensure a tight seal, using appropriate thread sealant if necessary, to prevent air leaks. Connect your air hose to the bayonet coupling on the other end.
Compatibility: This adaptor is designed for most fixed compressed air applications. It is compatible with systems using 1/4" BSP threaded connections. While it features a swivel body, it's important to note that for *trailing hose applications* where the hose is constantly being moved and repositioned, a fully swivelled coupling might be a more suitable option to prevent excessive wear on the adaptor itself.
Care: Given its steel construction, the adaptor is generally durable. To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
