Stucchi offers several different options that include a safety lock to prevent accidental disconnection, and even have some offerings that include a redundant safety lock to ensure full connection is made and maintained during operation.
Hydraulic Breaker circuits are a tough application for quick couplers, mainly due to the high impulse frequency and hydraulic force created by the tool. The flat face couplings are likely failing due to brinelling, which occurs where the male surfaces deform from the repeated loading and unloading of the locking …
The Stucchi FL series is a flat face – fully 316 stainless steel coupling set that we offer in BSPP and NPT threads. Specifically, I would suggest reviewing the part numbers listed below: 802401110 – F. FL15 ¾” NPT 802401111 – M. FL15 ¾” NPT 802401112 – F. FL17 1″ …
A comparable quick coupler to the Faster 2FFI14 series is the Stucchi FL series – specifically review part numbers 802404102 and 802404103 for our ¼” body – 3/8″ SAE port ISO16028 stainless steel coupler.
The Stucchi GR series is a manifold system that is intentionally designed to be modular to customize based on your needs. There are over 30 standard base frames that can be configured to match your body and port requirements. Our current largest offering would fit 16 x 3/8″ body couplers …
While Stucchi does not offer a direct interchange to the Parker SM series, we do have several product lines that are suited for use in the same intended application, such as the BIR series.
Based on the information given, we may not have a coupler that will suit all of your requirements. Our closest product offering would be the VEP series, but we would need to review more of your application parameters (medium, working pressure, connection/disconnection process, etc.) to determine if the VEP series …
Stucchi has a few different product series suitable for off-shore use, including full 316 stainless steel construction, and a version with QPQ external components with 316 stainless steel internal/valve components. Please provide more detailed specifications (working pressure and flow requirements) to help determine which specific product series is best suited …
The best coupler for your high flow machine/mulching head combo would be a 1″ size VEP coupling set.
The best product series to allow high flow while still maintaining minimum spillage would be the flat face style coupling (A series or FIRG series). As is the case with any coupler product, when sediment is present in the system, it is possible to get stuck on the sealing surfaces …
