Dust cover for air hose quick coupler

[BrianTN]

Hey guys, I remember seeing one of these on here but cannot find it through searching. What I am looking for is a cover like this

to cover one of these with some kind of leash to keep it on the coupler when disconnected.

Search for hydraulic coupler dust caps, that's where they are more commonly used.

Here's a selection. Once you have a PN you should be able to find what you need.

Thanks! That is the thread I was looking for, specifically the pic from my1stcummins. I wasn't able to find anything like that around me, so on my most recent mcmaster order I bought a bag of these. Not exactly what I wanted, but it's a tight enough fit.

Kilby Enterprises sells tethered caps for their (slightly) larger couplers. They may not fit standard couplers. The couplers are great because they work on either type hose fitting and are well made. Both the coupler and the cap have been on my truck for about seven years with no problems. I can get dimensions if someone needs them.

I have also seen some who use a rubber cane foot with a short length of chain or cable as a lanyard.

I used the Kilby's on my Jeep. They worked great.

I can't seem to find a good photo of them, but look at the Drivers side rear bumper:

I found that a Parker 5209-4M Quick Coupling Dust Cap does the job pretty well.
