About Quick Couplers

Quick couplers are used in a hydraulic or pneumatic system to quickly connect lines without losing fluid or fluid pressure. All couplings consist of two mating halves: the plug (male) half and the coupler (female) half. Quick couplers can be used under a variety of pressure and temperature conditions. Quick-action couplers are ideal for use in applications where fluid loss during connection or disconnection is undesirable. Typical applications include systems where tools or other devices are routinely connected and disconnected to a central pressure supply.  Common working fluids include air or pneumatic, hydraulic fluids, steam, water, oil, fuel, chemical, gas, or solid transfer.
