Description
Quick release couplings are fitting are used to mate fluid lines with system equipment that requires frequent connecting and disconnecting. They are used in both pneumatic and hydraulic applications to build or discontinue the connection of a fluid pipeline.
Quick release couplings are fitting are used to mate fluid lines with system equipment that requires frequent connecting and disconnecting. They are used in both pneumatic and hydraulic applications to build or discontinue the connection of a fluid pipeline.
It is well known as quick coupler, quick coupling or quick connect coupling. Quick coupling can be made of stainless steel SS316, carbon steel and brass material for practically every application contingency. The fittings size is available from 1/4” to 2”. The working pressure will be determined depending on the body size.
The fitting design is simple and easy to install, example a male end inserts into a female end to make a secure and leak-tight sealing. They are being called as push-in connect because the connection requires a quick push only.
The fitting design is either a poppet valve or ball closing system. The poppet valve and a metal perch are used to maintain valve alignment and prevent flow duplication. Coupler sleeve and nipple body are hardened to be damage resistant and the standard end configurations include female pipe and straight thread of NPT or BSPP.
