Bullard 1/2" Quick-Disconnect Shut-Off with 3/8" NPT

The Bullard 1/2" Quick-Disconnect Shut-Off with 3/8" NPT is a specialized industrial valve designed to offer both ease of use and safety for fluid or gas transfer applications. It provides quick connection and disconnection without the need for tools and includes an integrated shut-off function for enhanced safety.

Key Features:

1. Quick-Disconnect Mechanism:

   • Tool-Free Operation: This valve features a quick-disconnect design, allowing users to easily attach and detach hoses or pipes without the need for any tools. This is particularly useful in environments where time and efficiency are crucial.
   • Secure Locking: When connected, the quick-disconnect feature ensures a secure, leak-proof connection, preventing accidental disconnections during operation.

2. Integrated Shut-Off Valve:

   • Automatic Shut-Off: When the quick-disconnect is disengaged, the built-in shut-off valve automatically stops the flow of air, water, or other materials. This feature ensures that there is no fluid or gas leakage when the valve is disconnected, improving safety.
   • Prevents Leaks: By cutting off the flow during disconnection, it minimizes the risk of spills or accidents, which is crucial in high-pressure or hazardous environments.

3. 1/2" Hose Compatibility:

   • The valve is designed to be compatible with 1/2" diameter hoses, which are common in many industrial and construction applications. This makes it versatile for a wide range of tasks, from air tool operations to fluid transfer.

4. 3/8" NPT Threads:

   • 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread): The valve features 3/8" NPT male or female threads, a standard size for many pipe connections in the U.S. This ensures a secure, leak-proof seal when connecting to equipment, pipes, or hoses that also have 3/8" NPT threading.
   • Durable Seal: The NPT threads provide a tight, durable connection, ideal for systems under pressure or requiring frequent use.

5. Durable Construction:

   • Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Typically made from materials like brass or stainless steel, the Bullard quick-disconnect shut-off valve is built to withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, moisture, and rough environments, ensuring long-term performance.
   • Built for Industrial Environments: Designed to endure the demands of industrial work sites, it’s durable and reliable under tough conditions.

6. Compact and Lightweight:

   • Space-Efficient: The compact design allows it to be used in tight spaces without taking up too much room.
   • Lightweight: Easy to handle and install, this valve minimizes strain during manual operations or frequent changes.
