Foster 2042 is a 1/8" body industrial interchange air coupler with a 1/4" Hose Barb end, brass body with a steel sleeve, manual sleeve. Rated 300 PSI with a Buna-N seal for -40°F to 250°F.

The Foster 2 Series is the 1/8" body miniature industrial coupler: a scaled-down version of the common industrial profile for airbrushes, blow guns, instrumentation, small pneumatic tools and lab or bench air. It takes 1/8" body 2 Series plugs only; standard 1/4" industrial plugs do not fit. The coupler half is valved: pull the plug and the line shuts off.

Foster has made these in the USA since 1919, and this is the same industrial-grade coupler that goes on production-floor air drops and professional shop lines, not a light-duty import. Machined brass and plated steel, built to be rebuilt rather than thrown away.

OUR VERDICT

A 1/8" miniature industrial air coupler for airbrushes, blow guns, instrumentation and small pneumatic tools. Buy it where a full-size 1/4" coupler is too bulky or too heavy for the line. Takes 2 Series plugs only.

WHAT WE LIKE
  • Made in the USA by Foster, heavy-duty industrial grade
  • Industrial interchange, the most common air fitting profile in US shops
  • Brass body with a steel sleeve for long wear
  • One-way shut-off keeps air in the line when the plug is pulled
WORTH NOTING
  • Manual sleeve: pull back to connect, pull back to release
  • Not a universal coupler; it takes industrial-style plugs only
