HOW TO USE:

• Prepare Connection Point: Ensure the air hose or tool port you intend to connect to is clean and free of debris.
• Thread On Plug: Securely thread the 1/4″ MNPT end of the Amflo CP21 plug into the female threaded port of your air hose, tool, or other pneumatic component. Use thread sealant if necessary to ensure an airtight connection. Tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.
• Connect to Coupler: Locate a compatible 1/4″ Industrial Interchange (I/M) style air coupler on your air hose or compressor.
• Engage Plug: Push the quick-connect end of the Amflo CP21 plug firmly into the coupler. You should hear a click as the coupler’s sleeve engages and locks the plug into place.
• Verify Connection: Gently pull on the plug to ensure it is securely seated and will not easily disconnect under pressure.
• Disconnect (If Needed): To disconnect, pull back the collar or sleeve on the air coupler. The plug will then release from the coupler.
