You will find Parker's FEM series push-to-connect hydraulic couplings on construction, utility, and agricultural equipment.
 
Parker has completed the redesign of FEM couplers and nipples in 3/8" and 1/2" sizes. The redesign of the rest of the coupling sizes is in process.
 
The new design offers a higher pressure rating of 5,000 PSI, better Sleeve-Lok functionality is now standard, and the new zinc-nickel plating improves the corrosion resistance. The redesigned couplings will continue to meet or exceed the ISO 16028 standard requirement, and the 3/8" size also conforms to the HTMA standard.

Design Features

  • Meets or exceeds the design and performance requirements of ISO 16028 standard
  • PVC dust caps have improved ozone resistance
  • Push-to-connect function for ease of use
  • Steel body material with zinc-nickel plating
  • Polyurethane interface seals
