Quick release water couplings
Quick release water couplings – general information
Low pressure quick release couplings (usually to over ten bar, several tens of bar) made of brass, chromium-plated brass and stainless steel intended for cold and hot water, detergents, chemicals (stainless steel). The quick release couplings connect hoses, water spray guns and other accessories – for spraying, cleaning and washing. Suitable for all industrial applications, food industry, chemical, pharmaceutical industry. The socket with the valve should be placed at the installation feed side.
The coupling basically consists of a socket and a plug. The plug is of a specific shape (profile), it is locked in the socked body by a ball locking mechanism, sealed with soft rubber seals. To disconnect the plug from the socket, the spring-loaded socket sleeve is pushed back, the balls move outward to release the plug.
The versions of the quick release couplings for water:
- free flow version;
- single shut-off (with a shut-off valve in the socket, the valve opens when the plug is pushed into the socket; the socket with the valve must be mounted at the feed end/upstream).
