OVERVIEW

Reliable Air Connections for Your Shop

Keep your fabrication shop running smoothly with the QD-INDN4-4F Pneumatic Air Nipple. In a welding or metalworking environment, reliable air power is just as critical as your electrical supply. Whether you are powering a pneumatic angle grinder to prep a weld, a needle scaler to remove slag, or a plasma cutter requiring a steady air stream, this quick-disconnect fitting ensures your tools are ready to go in seconds.

Universal Compatibility

This nipple utilizes the popular "Industrial" (Type M) profile, which is the standard for most home garages and professional workshops. This means you won't have to worry about hunting for matching couplers; if your shop uses standard red or blue air couplers, this nipple will likely snap right in. The 1/4-inch body size strikes the perfect balance between compact size and adequate airflow for your finishing tools.

Built Tough for Metalworkers

Welding shops are tough environments. Fittings get dropped, dragged across concrete floors, and exposed to dust and debris. This air nipple is made from durable plated steel, making it significantly tougher than standard brass fittings. It resists the dings and scratches that can cause leaks, ensuring you get full power to your tools every time. The hardened steel surface also withstands the constant friction of connecting and disconnecting, providing a long service life.

Easy Installation

Featuring 1/4-inch Female NPT threads, this fitting is designed to screw onto male-threaded hose ends or rigid pipe nipples. Simply apply a little thread tape, screw it on, and tighten it down for a leak-proof seal. It's an essential spare part for any welder's toolbox, ensuring you can quickly repair a hose or set up a new tool without downtime.
