APM SERIES

The APM Series Flat Face Couplings are state-of-the-art solutions for high residual pressure. They address residual pressure in a circuit anywhere thermal expansion of trapped fluid causes pressure to develop, and connect by hand with residual pressure, without releasing any fluid into the environment. The APM is intended to relieve pressure within itself only.

  • VEP SERIES

    The VEP Series is a popular solution for hydraulic circuit applications subject to high pressure impulses and circuits which experience high residual or trapped pressure in a line. Thread-to-connect design eliminates premature wear or brinelling, a patented internal valve allows connection/disconnection with high residual pressures, and the flat face design avoids loss of hydraulic fluid and contamination into the circuit. A yellow o-ring indicator makes the VEP series even easier to work with.

  • FIRG SERIES

    The FIRG Flat Face Series, the original ISO 16028 interchangeable coupling, continues to offer good performance, long life and competitive pricing. The integrated sealing mechanism greatly reduces premature wear caused by movement between coupler and nipple parts affected by impulse pressure and the weight of the hoses and tubing when the coupling is in horizontal position.

  • A-ZN SERIES

    The A-ZN Series Flat Face Couplings utilize specialized plating for high corrosion resistance, designed to exceed the ISO salt spray test. Standard zinc plating is rated for 400 hours before red spotting. The Z version offers higher pressure and superior flow ratings with a lower pressure drop compared to competitors’ products. The ZN version plating is designed to exceed 1000 hours before the appearance of red spotting in the same ISO salt spray test.
