Description
XF-Euro Safety Adaptor
Male Thread R 3/8 BSP
The professional's choice for safe, reliable quick-release connections in demanding workshop environments. Engineered to European safety standards with precision-machined threads for leak-free performance.
š Safety First Engineering
XF-Euro profile with integrated safety sleeve prevents accidental disconnection under pressure. Compliant with ISO 4414 pneumatic safety standards for peace of mind in high-flow applications.
āļø Precision Threading
R 3/8 BSP male thread machined to BS 21 tolerances ensures perfect mating with female ports on compressors, regulators, and manifolds. No cross-threading, no leaks, no downtime.
ā” Instant Connection
Push-to-connect design delivers tool-free coupling in seconds. The hardened steel ball-bearing lock mechanism withstands 10,000+ connection cycles without degradation.

Why Trade Professionals Choose XF-Euro
The XF-Euro safety profile has become the European standard for good reason. Unlike basic quick-release couplings, the safety sleeve mechanism prevents dangerous whip-back when disconnecting under residual pressure. The audible click confirms secure engagement, while the visual inspection groove lets you verify connection integrity at a glance.
Our R 3/8 BSP male thread variant is the workhorse size for medium-flow applicationsālarge enough to supply air-hungry impact wrenches and spray guns, compact enough for tight engine bays and confined spaces. The nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion in humid workshops and coastal environments, maintaining smooth operation year after year.
Installation & Maintenance
Thread Preparation: Clean female port threads and apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE tape in a clockwise direction. Hand-tighten the adaptor, then use a 19mm spanner to achieve final torque of 20-25 Nm. Avoid over-tightening which can distort the coupling body.
Coupling Procedure: Ensure air supply is isolated. Push plug fully into adaptor until you hear and feel the lock engage. Tug gently to confirm secure connection before pressurizing the system.
Service Life: Inspect coupling quarterly for wear on the ball-bearing lock and safety sleeve. Clean with compressed air and light solvent to remove dust and oil residue. Replace if you notice air leakage, difficult engagement, or visible damage to sealing surfaces.
Our Commitment
Every XF-Euro safety adaptor is individually inspected before dispatch. We stand behind the quality with our satisfaction guaranteeāif this fitting doesn't perform to specification in your workshop, we'll make it right.
