The use of an Air King safety clip or wire type retainer is necessary to ensure Air King universal couplings will not become accidentally disconnected. This guarantees the fittings are properly connected because the safety pin will not go through the holes in mating flanges until couplings are locked in place. Only one Air King safety clip or wire type retainer is required for each Air King universal coupling.
To provide protection against coupling breakage and related hazards, Dixon recommends the use of a whip hose.
Air King is rated to 150 PSI at ambient temperature (70ºF).
