Safety is always top priority. That’s why you should have a safety pin on every blast hose and air hose connection. These Safety Clips or Cotter Pins or Safety Pins prevent couplings from separating; Keeping you and everyone safe. Unless you have one of our Nylon hose couplings with built in safety clip, you’re going to need a safety clip.
Where to use a safety clip:
- Start at the compressor. Put a clip between your 2 or 4 lug air coupling and air hose coupling.
- Air hose coupling and hose coupling on blast pot.
- Tank coupling and hose coupling.
- If multiple blast hoses, hose coupling and hose coupling.
As you can see, there are several areas you can add these safety pins to keep your job site safe. Luckily, they are sold as a 100 pack! Keep some extras just in case!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a clip on every coupling?
Blast and air hose couplings can work loose from vibration and pressure. A clip through the lock-pin holes keeps them from twisting apart.
Where do the clips go?
On every coupling connection: compressor to air hose, air hose to blast pot, tank coupling to blast hose, and between blast hose sections.
Do nylon couplings need a safety clip?
Not if they’re our nylon hose couplings with a built-in safety clip. Every other coupling does.
How many come in a pack?
100, which is enough to cover every connection with plenty of spares.
What part numbers does this replace?
Graco 17D787, Empire 510511 and Marco 1018002.
