A firm hose joint that you tighten by hand and that does not work loose. On pneumatic hoses, the union nut is a small part that makes the difference between a secure connection and a constant leak. This 1/4" metal nut is used for pneumatic hose joints and connections of that size, and its knurled surface improves grip when fitting and tightening it.
The anti-slip knurling lets you do the initial tightening by hand, even when wearing gloves or with oily fingers, and then finish off with a spanner. It is a practical spare for repairing worn joints or completing hose assemblies in the workshop, without having to replace the whole connection. It is worth keeping a few in the spares drawer: they cost little and save you stopping a job because of a joint that has stripped its thread or got lost during disassembly.

Vetonek tip
Do the initial tightening by hand to make sure the thread goes in straight, then finish off with a spanner without overtightening. A thread that goes in crooked gets damaged and ends up leaking however hard you tighten it. Check the joints from time to time with soapy water: a bubble reveals a leak that is costing you air and electricity.
