Our new SCM planer arrived today and requires an air line. It arrived with a quick disconnect I haven't seen before and I need to get a mating plug for it.
Anyone know what type and size this is?

I got something similar a while ago. I just unscrewed it from the tool, and installed a quick disconnect that worked with the rest of my equipment. The threading should be the same, even if the disconnect is different.
If it was made in Europe very likely to have British pipe threads attaching the quick connect. Could also be some metric thread I suppose.

I assume you have tried mating it with a standard industrial style fitting? There is a European Universal type coupler that supposedly mates with many versions, including the US industrial standard. Looks pretty similar to your pic.
The other end of the fitting has some type of fine thread flare on it, so I'd need to adapt one end or the other. A standard industrial fitting only inserts to where the first knuckle enters the coupler before interference. Also, there's some type of inner sleeve inside the coupler that isn't present in a standard coupler.
I’ve never been able to mate those euro fittings to anything made here. As others have said I just thread in a US fitting. Always seems to work. I have a collection of these, if that doesn’t work I probably have a male hose fitting that will connect.

Yeah, my closest guess is that it's a Series 21, but I'm not about to order a bunch of plugs to test. So now it's on to finding and adapter with this as one end.

I took the fitting to Lowes hoping to find a match. No such luck, but I did find out the threads are M10x1.0. Now to find an adapter to 1/4" NPT.
there are lots of standards. I wanted to use one that's common in Europe and not in the US. Had to order them from Europe as no vendor in the US carried them. If I wanted a US supplier to get them the minimum order qty was like 50 pcs. without the plug it will be hard to match as the dimensions on google are all measured from the male part.
Jim, have you tried threading in gently a 3/8 brass quick connector with Teflon tape?
Mcmaster carr should have it
