Couplers and Connectors

It is a reusable connection that allows a hose or tool to be connected and disconnected without unthreading the fitting.

It describes the plug and coupler profile. Matching the correct interchange is essential for proper connection and sealing.

Not normally. Universal couplers are designed to accept multiple specified plug profiles, but standard couplers should be matched to their intended interchange.

Select body size and port size based on required flow, tool demand and hose diameter.

Yes. Internal passages and valving create some restriction, so high-flow applications should use an appropriately sized coupler.

Material depends on the series and may include brass, steel or composite bodies.

Replace it if it leaks, will not lock securely, has damaged seals or shows excessive wear.

Confirm interchange, body size, thread, flow, pressure, media and environmental conditions.
