This is the fitting you'll need on a 3/8" air hose with 1/4" NPT fittings. Milton M-Type coupler plugs are designed to fit this quick connect. This doesn't leak under pressure and requires no lubrication. Assuming you still have all the fingers on one hand, this is easy to operate; hold the ring back with your thumb and forefinger while gripping the hose with your other three fingers. Slip the plug in or out and let the ring go. A small burst of air is normal. This is another quality, made in USA product from Milton. They are the best.

MILTON BY FAR MAKES THE BEST COUPLERS OUT THERE. FIRST I FOUND THEM HARD TO FIND.SECONDLY THE PRICE IS THE SAME AS THOSE INFERIOR BRANDS..JUST USE ALITTLE TEFLON TAPE ON YOUR MALE END PLUGS AND YOUR READY TO GO.YOU'LL FIND YOUR COMPRESSOR DOESNT GO ON AS MUCH, SINCE YOU HAVE (NO MORE AIR LEAKS)...........

Good deal on these couplers. I shopped around and this was the best price for the quality.

I did not realize that there really is a difference in quick connects.
I just upgraded to a 60 gallon Ingersol Rand compressor so I changed out a number of items that I was using with my old 20 gallon compressor. Initially (when I bought the 20 gallon comp) I had gone to my local Home Depot and picked up some of the fittings and couplers I would need. They served well until the upgrade. Reading some of the reviews for Milton I thought I would try their fittings and couplers. After they arrived I put a male connection onto one of my new spray guns and then connected the hose (with the Home Depot coupler). Didn't work! The old coupler wouldn't accept this Milton. Surprise, surprise!
So, since I had purchased an additional male and female coupler, I changed the old one out to the new. Worked fine as should be expected since they are now both Milton. Funny thing is, I still had a few air tools laying around with the older style (Home Depot) fittings attached and the Milton would accept them with no problem.
Now for the good part. . . .I looked down the barrel of the Milton fittings along side the HD fittings and the inside diameter of the Milton is larger than the Home Depot fittings! Another surprise. I just thought all fittings (3/8") would be the same. I now know better and the Milton is a MUCH BETTER choice.

I purchased a set of these Milton Quick 1/4" Quick Couplers for my 3/8" air hose as well as the 1/4" Milton Male Plugs for my air tools. The quality of this coupler will beat anything else on the market by far. Very easy to operate and NO AIR LEAKS! Order a set of these for your air tool set-up. You will be extremely pleased with the high quality and ease of operation of these products. This is yet another top quality, made in the USA product from Milton.

I bought this particular brand thru Amazon after reading the associated reviews. The item arrived and works very nicely but I was unable to find the country of origin for the part. Many of the reviewers mention "made in u.s.a." ! Well, nowhere does it mention where this particular Milton coupler is made!
