Flat face, also called flush face, couplers are designed with mating faces that can easily be cleaned prior to connection. Flat face couplers are known to limit fluid loss in hydraulic circuits and to be environmentally friendly due to their no leak performance. Flat face couplers are popular in many applications including high pressure processes or where high pressure impulses exists to prevent fluid loss during quick connect and quick disconnect.
Flat face quick connect fittings provide improved performance in high pressure applications with higher flow rates. Flush face couplings help machine manufacturers to achieve maximum performance in high pressure processes. Stucchi’s flat face couplers are proven to reduce pressure drop and decrease energy loss, available in many corrosion resistant materials ideal in harsh environments.
