FLAT-FACE-COUPLING

The sliding sleeve is fixed in the locked position by means of a pre-stressed spring. When coupling or uncoupling, slide the sleeve in an axial direction. The two halves of the coupling are locked together securely by means of precision snap-in balls. Exterior grooves in the sliding sleeve permit installation of the coupling female body in bulkheads, thus allowing one handed operation. The design of the flat face valves guarantees a minimum loss of oil or intake of air during coupling or uncoupling. The fixed valve plunger of the body provides a high level of reflux safety. Beyond that, the valves are designed for easy cleaning and to prevent the penetration of contamination. A small recess of the body valve facilitates centering of the male plug during coupling. Thanks to their modular design, a large variety of connections conforming to international standards is available.
