Pneumatic Quick Couplings
Hufco stocks Parker’s pneumatic couplings, also called Single Shut-Off Couplings. Single Shut-Off couplings are primarily used for pneumatic applications, connecting air tolls, hoses, or other implements to compressed air supplies. These couplings come in three basic designs: general purpose/manual connect, general purpose/push-to-connect, and special purpose. They are also used with other gases, and can be used with low pressure fluids.
The coupler half contains a shut-off valve that is automatically opened when a mating nipple is inserted and automatically closes when the nipple is removed. The standard seal material for all Parker Single Shut-Off couplers is Nitrile. Ethylene Propylene, Fluorocarbon, and Neoprene seals are available as options. All of the couplers feature safety locks in case of accidental disconnect. Pneumatic couplings feature high flow characteristics with minimal drop in pressure. Available sizes range from ¼” to ¾”.
