Never hit coupling valves to release trapped pressure.2.1.2.Never leave couplings in the path of moving equipment.3.4.during installation.Safe Quick Coupling PracticesAlways wipe the coupling cavities and faces clean before connecting a coupling.Connect coupling before installation to ensure that it works properly.3. Always check the body seals before connecting a coupling.4. Shut-off power source before connecting a coupling.5. Always install a safety check valve on a pneumatic line and/or compressor.6. Always use a safety cable on large air lines (½\and larger).7. Always use a whip hose on hydraulic or air tools.8. Use dust caps or plugs when couplings are not in use.9. If the locking sleeve is inoperable, check the safety lock.10. Wear eye protection while connecting or disconnecting 11. Connect and disconnect at zero pressure for personal safety and maximum product life.a coupling.Quick disconnect couplings can fail without warning! Prior to the operation of quick coupling products, be sure to inspect detected during operation, release the pressure from the ks of y or death. Unsafe Quick Coupling Practices5. Use care if you must install quick couplings onto black iron pipe.6. Never hit a coupling sleeve with a hammer or blunt object.7. Never overtighten a coupling connection.8. Never rotate a quick disconnect coupling under pressure.9. Do not overpressurize quick disconnect couplings.10. Never use a hose with a quick disconnect coupling to lifta tool.OSHA Regulations Ensure Operator SafetyStandard - 29 CFR, 1926.302 (partial):(b)(1) Pneumatic power tools shall be secured to the hose or whip by some positive means to prevent the tool from becoming accidentally disconnected.(b)(2) Safety Clips or retainers shall be securely installed and maintained on pneumatic impact (percussion) tools to prevent attachments from being accidentally expelled.(b)(4) Compressed air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except where reduced to 30 PSI and then only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment which meets the requirements of Subpart E of this part. The 30 PSI requirement does not apply for concrete form, mill scale, and similar cleaning purposes.(b)(6) The use of hoses for hoisting or lowering tools shall not be permitted.(b)(7) All hoses exceeding ½\ranch line to reduce pressure in case of hose failure.Standard - 29 CFR, 1926.603 (partial):(a)(9) Steam hose leading to a steam hammer or jet pipe shall be securely attached to the hammer with an adequate length of at least ¼\Air hammer hoses shall be provided with the same protection as required for steam lines.(a)(10) Safety chains, or equivalent means, shall be provided for each hose connection to prevent the line from thrashing around in case the coupling becomes disconnected.Safety Cables Safety Check ValvesBe Safe When Selecting Quick Couplings!
