Metal Quick Connector for Ø12 mm Hose with 1/2" Male Thread

This Ø12 mm quick connector with a 1/2" male thread is designed to simplify operations in any system requiring a reliable yet swiftly detachable coupling. The connector is made of high-quality metal with a corrosion-resistant finish, making it perfect for use on boats or harsh environments. Its quick-release mechanism lets you connect or disconnect a hose in seconds – especially useful when servicing equipment or swapping attachments.

Features and applications:

• Standard 1/2" Thread: The 1/2" BSP male thread allows direct mounting to common components – e.g. the inlet/outlet of a water pump, an air manifold, or a mixer tap. This universal size is frequently found in marine equipment and industrial systems, ensuring broad compatibility.
• Quick Portable Gear Hookup: If you use portable pumps or tools on board (for example, a hand diaphragm pump or a small compressor for inflatable toys), this connector enables rapid hookup to the fixed system and then easy detachment for storage.
• Water Supply Systems: Yacht and RV water systems can benefit from quick connectors – for instance, connecting a hose to an outdoor shower or bypassing a filter unit. The connector maintains a tight seal at both low and high pressures, meaning no leaks even under engine vibrations or boat movement.

Usage Tip: Pair this male connector with the matching female connector Ø12 mm with 1/2" internal thread (code 04895) to create a complete quick-release set. The 1/2" version provides a higher flow rate and is well-suited for larger boats or systems (e.g., vessels over 5–6 meters, where plumbing and air lines may be larger in scale). Attach the male thread to the fixed part of your system (such as a manifold or pump), and the hose to the female connector. This setup allows easy disconnection during boat winterization, repairs, or rapid accessory changes.
