Ordering Tips:
When ordering any quick couplings, consider the following:
- Functional requirements of the coupling
- Maximum working pressure of the application
- Coupler seal & body material compatibility with the system’s fluid
- Is the application static or dynamic?
- Size of coupler & hose
- Maximum allowable pressure drop
- Requirement to connect & disconnect under pressure
- Media temperature
- Ambient temperature
- End configuration requirements
- Need for industrial interchange QC
- Effects of air inclusion & fluid loss
When ordering any Parker quick couplings, please keep in mind the following:
When ordering Parker coupler bodies (couplers) and nipples, please state the part number of each type of coupler body and each type of nipple desired. List coupler bodies and nipples as separate items rather than in combinations.Be sure to double check thread or hose sizes of items required. Many of Parker’s coupling products are available with unique non-standard options well suited to very specific applications. Examples of unusual end use applications might include:
- High temperatures (above 250° F)
- Extremely caustic/corrosive solutions passing through the coupling
- External / environmental corrosion situations
- Other high wear and tear situations such as dragging the product along the ground.
