Reliable Compressed Air Connections for Professional Shops

The Balcrank 3270-004 is designed to simplify the connection and disconnection of compatible pneumatic equipment.

Its male quick-connect nipple profile inserts into a matching female quick-connect coupler, providing a convenient alternative to repeatedly removing threaded fittings when servicing or replacing equipment.

The 1/4-inch NPT male connection allows the nipple to thread into a corresponding female NPT port on a compatible pump, air filter/regulator, hose fitting, or other pneumatic component.

This makes the Balcrank 3270-004 especially useful for equipment that needs to be disconnected for routine maintenance, inspections, and service.

Designed for Balcrank Pneumatic Lubrication Equipment

Balcrank identifies part 3270-004 as an air nipple in multiple LYNX lubrication pump packages, paired with the 3270-003 air coupler.

These components are used in selected LYNX 1:1 pump packages and other compatible Balcrank lubrication systems.

Balcrank Air Couplers and Nipples – Product Comparison

Balcrank offers several air coupler and nipple configurations to accommodate different installation requirements.

These designations come from Balcrank's published Couplers & Nipples catalog.

Balcrank

Important distinction: The term male air nipple describes the quick-connect plug, while NPT(M) describes the threaded connection on the other end. Both must match the intended installation.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations

Before installing the Balcrank 3270-004, confirm the equipment's threaded port size, quick-connect coupler profile, operating pressure, and air supply requirements.

The nipple's 1/4-inch NPT male threads must connect to a corresponding female-threaded fitting.

For installations using a Balcrank 3270-003 coupler, verify that both components are in serviceable condition and properly rated for the pneumatic system.

Always isolate and depressurize the compressed air supply before installing or removing fittings. Apply an appropriate pneumatic thread sealant according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions, and inspect the completed connection for leaks before use.

Application note: The Balcrank 3270-004 is designed as a pneumatic air connection accessory. Do not assume it is suitable for high-pressure hydraulic fluid, oil dispensing, or other liquid transfer applications.
