About us

B J Inns is a family business established in 1997 by Bryan Inns to provide service to the Hydraulic and Pneumatic market with quality Quick Release Couplings and accessories.

Our people are experienced. Staff are trained to handle even the most challenging inquiries.

Major brands include Hansen, Gromelle, Rectus, Stucchi, CEJN, Parker, Snap-tite, Eaton/Tuthill (now Danfoss) and Tema.

We can interchange with a large number of other popular brands.

The range of couplings available is extensive and includes two way shut-off (valved couplings), one way shut-off (only the female side valved) and straight through un-valved couplings.  Materials include steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminium and plastic.

Our aim is to provide high quality products at competitive prices and distribute them with minimal cost throughout Australia, New Zealand and neighbouring regions.

Applications are wide and varied.  Traditionally Quick Release Couplings were designed for the Hydraulic and Pneumatic markets but since they provide the ability to connect and disconnect lines to equipment without loss of fluid, quick release couplings are used to convey oil, water, steam, grease, various chemicals, oxygen, acetylene, paint and even fibreglass resin.

You will find our couplings on earth moving equipment, trucks, diggers, agricultural equipment, aircraft, carpet cleaning machines, steam cleaning equipment, water blasters, mobile refrigeration, hydraulic jacks, breathing air equipment, data centre liquid cooling systems, food processing equipment, medical equipment, etc..

A a brief history .....

Ray Inns (our grandfather) began business in 1955 (R. E. Inns Ltd) as a refrigeration spare parts wholesaler.
Ray saw the need to diversify his business and after approaching Hansen Manufacturing USA was appointed the sole Australian distributor of HANSEN quick couplings in the early 1960’s.
Bryan Inns (our father) joined the business in 1961. Bryan took an immediate interest in Hansen Quick Release Couplings and was appointed the product manager for Hansen.
R. E. Inns was purchased by Actrol in 1976 to become Actrol-Inns and then Actrol which is an Australian wide refrigeration wholesaling company (now part of the Reece group).
Bryan continued to work for Actrol until the mid 1990’s.
After finishing at Actrol Bryan formed B. J. Inns Pty Ltd in 1997.
B. J. Inns Pty Ltd has continued to grow and now represents quality, established brands in the quick connect coupling industry.
B. J. Inns Pty Ltd supplies high quality, recognised brands and distributes at competitive prices and with minimal fuss throughout Australia and nearby regions.
