Compressed Air Couplings & Accessories | Push-In, Claw & Quick Couplings
Compressed air couplings connect your compressor, pipework and tools into one working system. At Van de Calseyde you'll find push-in couplings, quick couplings, plugs and manifold blocks for compressed air, in the most common sizes and thread types. Everything in stock in our warehouse in the Port of Ghent — order today, ship today. Not sure which fitting you need? Our technical team is happy to help, free of charge.

What types of compressed air couplings are there?
Not every compressed air coupling does the same job. A quick overview to help you choose the right one:
- Push-in couplings — quick to fit without tools, ideal for temporary or flexible setups.
- Quick couplings — for fast, safe disconnection under pressure, the standard choice for pneumatic tools in workshops and industry.
- Plugs — the counterpart to the quick coupling; determines which system (e.g. Euro, Rectus) is compatible with your existing setup.
- Manifold blocks — split one compressed air line into several outlets, useful when running multiple tools from a single line.
What connection and size do you need?
The most commonly used thread sizes and systems:
| System / thread | Commonly used for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4" BSP | Hand tools, small compressors | Most common in Belgium |
| 3/8" BSP | Workshop installations | Higher flow rate |
| 1/2" BSP | Industrial pipe networks | Larger volumes |
| Euro system | General use | Compatible with most brands |
| Rectus system | Specific pneumatic applications | Check compatibility first |
Not sure which size you need? Send us a photo or the type number of your existing coupling via customer service, and we'll find the matching part.
Accessories and supplies
Besides the coupling itself, you'll often also need:
- Sealing tape or paste for the thread
- Hose clamps to secure the fitting on the compressed air hose
- Reducing couplings if there's a difference in connection size
- Compressed air hoses in the right diameter and length
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a push-in coupling and a quick coupling for compressed air? A push-in coupling is fitted permanently and isn't meant to be disconnected regularly. A quick coupling is designed for exactly that: safe, one-action disconnection, even under pressure.
Which compressed air coupling fits my compressor? That depends on the system your compressor or tool already uses (often the Euro or Rectus system) and the thread size of the connection. Not sure? Get in touch with our technical team.
What else do I need besides the coupling? Usually at least sealing tape or paste, and depending on the setup, a hose clamp or reducing coupling.
