Overview

The 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch hose fitting is a hose joiner for airless hoses, used to join two lengths of hose end to end. It is the fitting that lets an operator run two shorter lengths together to make the working length they need, or repair a hose by joining the two good ends after a damaged section is cut out.

The listing describes it as a 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch hose joiner for airless hoses. Airless spray systems run at high pressure, so the joiner has to hold the line together without leaking at the working pressure of the pump. It is a small, inexpensive fitting that keeps an airless setup flexible on site, and it is the sort of spare worth carrying when a hose could be cut or damaged on a job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for airless sprayers?

Yes. The listing describes it as a 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch hose joiner for airless hoses, so it is designed for the high pressure hoses used on airless paint and coating spray systems.

What does a hose joiner do?

It joins two hose ends together, which extends the hose to a longer length or repairs a hose after a damaged section is cut out. It is the fitting that keeps an airless setup running when a hose needs to be lengthened or repaired on site.

What pressure is it rated for?

The listing does not state a pressure rating for the joiner. Airless systems run at high pressure, so confirm the rating with the supplier if it will sit in a high output line. The fitting is small and inexpensive, and is best used within its rated working pressure.
