60 Series
PCL 60 Series couplings for general compressed air work in garage, tyre shop and workshop environments. The 60 Series is designed for portable air tool applications, covering the range of pneumatic tools commonly used in general automotive and workshop settings: impact wrenches, ratchets, drills, blow guns and spray equipment. Swivel and fixed adaptors are available, with both male and female BSP thread options.
The 60 Series is the general-purpose option in the PCL range, suitable for most workshop air tool work that does not require the heavier-duty coupling body of the 100 Series. If you are stocking a new workshop, the 60 Series covers the majority of general-purpose connections. For larger air tools running at higher flow rates, consider the 100 Series.

PCL 60 Series: the general-purpose workshop coupling
The 60 Series occupies the middle ground in the PCL compressed air coupling range. It is designed for the type of air tool use that defines most garages and workshops: impact wrenches, drills, ratchets, blow guns, where the tool demand is moderate and connections are made and broken several times a day. The construction balances durability with the convenience of quick-release operation.
Both swivel and fixed adaptors are available. Swivel adaptors are the right choice for hose connections that rotate in use; fixed adaptors suit static outlets such as wall-mounted take-off points and manifold ports. Both versions are available with male and female BSP threads in the sizes most commonly used in UK compressed air systems.
If you are deciding between the 60 Series and the 100 Series, the key criterion is the air tool. The 60 Series is rated for general portable tools. The 100 Series is the correct choice where the tool draws a higher volume of air: large impact guns used in HGV or bus workshops, heavy grinding equipment, or high-flow spray applications. The 60 Series body is lighter and the coupling geometry differs, so the two are not interchangeable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PCL 60 Series used for?
The PCL 60 Series is a compressed air coupling range designed for general workshop, garage and tyre shop applications. It covers the standard air tool types used in these environments: impact wrenches, ratchets, drills, blow guns and spray equipment. Both swivel and fixed adaptor versions are available in BSP thread sizes.
What is the difference between PCL 60 Series and 100 Series?
The 60 Series is rated for general portable air tools with moderate air consumption. The 100 Series is built for larger air tools that draw a higher sustained volume, such as large impact guns used in HGV workshops, heavy grinding equipment and high-flow spray applications. The two ranges have different coupling body geometries and are not physically interchangeable.
Are PCL 60 Series couplings compatible with standard air tools?
Yes. The 60 Series uses the standard PCL coupling format compatible with general-purpose workshop air tools in the UK. For tools sourced from outside the UK, check the coupling standard, as European and US coupling formats differ from the PCL range.
What BSP thread sizes are available in the 60 Series?
The 60 Series is available with male and female BSP threads. Common sizes for workshop air systems are 1/4 BSP and 3/8 BSP. Confirm the thread size used on your existing valves, regulators and distribution points before ordering.
Can I mix PCL 60 Series with other PCL coupling ranges?
The 60 Series coupling body is specific to that range and is not interchangeable with the 100 Series or A-style couplings. If your system uses multiple PCL coupling standards, you will need appropriate adaptors at the connection points between them.
