Construction plant, mobile equipment, general industrial, nuclear, mining and
agricultural. Applications involving dusty or dirty environments and where oil
loss on disconnection cannot be tolerated.
ADVANTAGES
- Flat mating faces are easily wiped clean to prevent the ingress of
contaminants.
- Improved flow path minimises the pressure drop.
- Non-spill design avoids fluid loss during connection and disconnection.
- No air intrusion during connection.
- Locking sleeve prevents accidental disconnection.
STANDARDS
Conforms to ISO 16028 (2006) in all respects, i.e. dimensions and performance.
MATERIALS
Hardened carbon steel body, zinc plated, nitrile seals.
CONNECTION / DISCONNECTION UNDER PRESSURE
Connection with residual pressure in the line will be difficult or impossible.
For applications where connection under pressure is required, a Holmbury APM
male coupling, or a screw coupling from either the HSC, VP or VEP ranges is
recommended.
Disconnection of any quick disconnect / quick release coupling whilst under full
system pressure can be very dangerous and should not be attempted.
* Dimensions for BSP and NPT threads. Other threads available.
