RAM1WF Air King® with Ferrule

Applications

• Air King is for Air & Water Service Only.
• Claw couplings are most commonly used for conveying air and water, and are not to be used for steam applications. Common industry applications include: under ground and surface mining, mineral processing, compressor and air tool industries, hire companies.

Construction

Carbon steel ferrule

Note

• Includes a safety clip
• Constant vibration created by air drills, pavement breakers etc. is destructive to air hose couplings, especially the quick-acting type. To provide protection, connect one end of a 1 to 3 metre length of air hose to the tool using the heat-treated "No. 3500" Steel Nipple which withstands vibration for a longer period. Connect the other end of "Whip Hose" to the air supply with the quick-acting coupling. "Whip Hose" should remain permanently connected to the tool and should be the same diameter as the supply line hose.

Safety Notes

Warning: Never use Couplings for steam service! None of Dixon's catalogue information is to be interpreted to mean that this type of coupling is suitable for use on steam hose.

Use

Air King with carbon steel ferrules can be crimped or externally swaged. For crimp or swage recommendations please contact Dixon.
