An aluminium quick release coupling connects and disconnects hoses by hand in seconds.
It is light and corrosion resistant. Therefore, it suits pump, water and transfer hoses.
What is an aluminium quick release coupling?
Hose nipples and joints connect hoses to pipes, valves and each other. A hose nipple has a ridged tail that grips inside the hose, and a threaded end or a second tail.
Joints come as straight, T, Y and 4-way shapes. Quick release couplings let a hose be connected or removed in seconds. Therefore, these parts make hose systems easy to build and change.
