American Compressor Claw Couplings

American compressor claw couplings are manufactured from iron that is zinc passivated to reduce the risk of surface corrosion. The couplings have incorporated holes within the housing unit so the fittings can be locked together with the use of a safety clip preventing the risk of accidental disconnection. Often referred to as crow foot, Chicago or air king couplings, PAR can supply these fittings with serrated hose tails, NPT male or NPT female threads.

American claw couplings have a similar appearance to European claw couplings, however, the distance of the locking lugs is slightly different at 41mm. These fittings can be easily connected and are interchangeable with other options of the same type by rotating the unit 45° degrees.

Our standard range of compressor claw couplings come supplied with a black nitrile seal and can be purchased at PAR Direct by clicking the button above.
