HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Connection: Ensure your air hose has a male 1/4″ NPT fitting and your air tool has a male I/M plug.
• Attach to Air Hose: Thread the 1/4″ FNPT end of the Amflo C20 coupler onto the male 1/4″ NPT fitting of your air hose. Tighten securely with a wrench, taking care not to overtighten.
• Connect Air Tool: With the air supply off or depressurized, push the male I/M plug from your air tool firmly into the quick-connect end of the Amflo C20 coupler until it clicks into place.
• Verify Connection: Gently pull on the air tool to ensure the connection is secure and does not easily disconnect.
• Activate Air Supply: Turn on your air compressor or open the air line valve to begin using your pneumatic tool.
• Disconnect: To disconnect, pull back the collar on the Amflo C20 coupler and simultaneously pull the air tool plug out. Always depressurize the air line before disconnecting if possible.
