Triade Quick Release Airless Gun Extensions: A Game Changer on the Jobsite

On a recent new construction job, I rediscovered a tool that completely changed how I spray — the Triade quick release airless gun extensions. Funny enough, I’ve actually had these sitting in my trailer for a year or two, but I hadn’t really put them to work until now. After using them for the past couple of weeks, I can confidently say they’re one of the most efficient airless sprayer accessories I’ve used.

Why Quick Release Extensions Matter

If you’ve ever sprayed a stairwell, vaulted ceiling, or tight interior space, you know how often you’re switching gun extension sizes. Traditionally, that means stopping, unthreading an extension, threading on another, tightening everything down, and repeating that process over and over.

 

The Triade system eliminates that downtime.

 

Instead of threading extensions on and off, Triade uses a quick release adapter that screws directly onto your spray gun (in place of your guard). Once that adapter is installed, any Triade extension can be snapped on or off instantly.

 

No threading. No tools. No wasted time.

Multiple Extensions, Swapped in Seconds

On this particular job, I was spraying an upstairs area and a stairwell with a lot of awkward angles. I needed multiple extension sizes throughout the day — from a 6-inch extension all the way up to a 36-inch extension.

With the quick release system, I could:

• Swap extensions in seconds

• Hand extensions to my hose manager and have them ready instantly

• Add multiple extensions together when needed

• Adapt quickly to ceilings, walls, and tight spaces

 

At one point, I even used two adapters to quickly extend my reach for a vaulted ceiling. Instead of fighting the setup, I was able to stay focused on spraying.

Built for Real Jobsite Use

The Triade quick release extensions use a replaceable O-ring system inside the coupler. Over time, O-rings will wear — that’s normal — but Triade makes replacement O-ring packs, so maintenance is simple and inexpensive.

 

After weeks of daily use on a new construction job:

• No leaks

• No failures

• No fitment issues

 

The quality of the metal, machining, and overall construction is obvious the moment you handle them. These aren’t gimmicky accessories — they’re built for professional use.

Why I Always Use Gun Extensions

Anyone who’s followed my work knows I’m a big believer in gun extensions in general. It’s rare you’ll ever see me spray without at least a 6-inch extension on my gun. There are specific reasons for that — ergonomics, control, and efficiency — but that’s a topic for another post.

 

What I can say is that the Triade quick release system takes gun extensions to another level by removing the biggest downside: constant threading and unthreading.

Final Thoughts

After finally putting these to use, I can honestly say the Triade quick release airless gun extensions are a game changer, especially for:

• New construction

• Interior spraying

• Stairwells and vaulted ceilings

• Jobs that require frequent extension changes

 

This is one of those tools that, once you use it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t sooner. Just another solid product I’ve discovered and now confidently recommend to anyone looking to spray faster, cleaner, and more efficiently.
