Tube Couplings

To connect pressure or vacuum lines to plain tubes & pipes. The coupling is simply pushed over the end of the tube & pressed firmly to the stop position. This provides an effective leak-proof sealing. The tube can be disconnected merely by pressing down the lever & pulling off the coupling. No welding, threading or flaring of tubes.

Advantages Over Permanent Connections:

• Greater safety by automatic shut off
• Minimizes down time
• Permits rapid change over
• Reduces time for connection
• Speeds line change over

Selection of Quick Disconnect Couplings:

• Function or Need
• Pressure Requirement
• Type of Coupling
• Seal
• Flow Characteristics
• Material
• Pipe and Thread Size

For Best Performance of the Couplings :

• Use only with the recommended media
• Be sure to choose the appropriate type sealing materials for your application
• Keep the Couplings always clean & free of dust by installing suitable dust caps / dust plugs
• Use a filter for fluid & air as foreign materials may damage the couplers
• Be sure that the thread tape scraps do not enter the line.
• Do not over tighten the fittings as the threads may be damaged

Warnings :

• Media must flow from the couplers to the adopters
• Do not connect or disconnect the couplers when pressurized
• Do not apply palliative pressure to coupler when it is disconnected
