Quick Connect Couplings0 pages

Through our affiliation with Rectus-TEMA, Nycoil has access to over fifty years of worldwide Quick Connect Coupling experience and technology. As a result, Nycoil now offers a wide selection of couplers having a variety of features, performance characteristics and connections assuring you of having the right one for your particular requirements. In addition to all of the major interchanges, Nycoil has the coupler that will fit the exact need of any application. There's no longer a reason to settle for a coupler just because "it works" ...now you can choose the one that "works perfectly!

Manual Sleeve TYPE "C": The coupler sleeve must manually be pulled back before the plug can be inserted. Locking balls are used to connect the plug and coupler. This design is very good for excessive vibration or high impact applications. A solid drag guard at the front of the coupler prevents accidental disconnects from snagging, making it ideal for air supply hoses. These couplers should be used on stationary applications allowing two hand operation as well as with air tools.

Automatic "Ultra-Flo"TYPE "K": Single hand operation using locking balls to hold the plug inside of the coupler body. These units also include the Rectus Ultra-Flo valve, which allows approximately 80% more air flow than conventional designs. The exceptional flow characteristics of this design will even outperform those of larger body size couplers from other manufacturers, resulting in a savings in both cost and space. These couplers can be used in any application where high volume is required or excessive vibration is a factor. A drag guard makes this design ideal for use with air supply hoses Automatic Locking Pin TYPE "S": Single hand operation where the plug can be pushed into the coupler body without having to pull the sleeve back. Locking pins hold the plug inside of the coupler body. This style is a popular choice where automatic operation and economy are primary concerns. These couplers are best suited for fixed air lines (piping, as opposed to hose) where high vibration is not a concern.

Self-Venting "Soft Body"TYPE "V": Automatic safety coupler that won't allow the plug to be completely disconnected until the downstream air is bled off in order to avoid the dangerous "hose whip" effect. Pulling the coupler sleeve back partially releases the plug so that the downstream air can bleed off. Once the downstream air is exhausted, the coupler sleeve can be pushed forward to

completely disconnect the plug. The system fulfills the requirements stipulated in ISO 4414 for increased safety standards in the work place. Features locking pins to hold the plug in place and a thermoplastic sleeve for lighter weight as well as protection of surfaces that it might come in contact with. This coupler combines safety, automatic operation, lightweight and economy, making it the first choice for both stationary air lines and air supply hoses.

Self-Venting, All Brass TYPE "Z": Automatic safety coupler that also prevents disconnecting until the downstream air is completely bled off, but uses locking balls to hold the plug in place. Pulling the coupler sleeve back partially releases the plug and allows the downstream air trapped in the line to bleed off. After the downstream air is completely bled off, the coupler sleeve can be pulled back a second time to fully release the plug. The system fulfills the requirements stipulated in ISO 4414 for increased safety standards in the work place.This unit features a nickel-plated brass body and sleeve and the Rectus Ultra-Flo valve. Where durability, high flow and safety are the primary considerations this coupler is an ideal choice for any air hose or supply line.

Low Force Connection TYPE "L": Specially designed for low force connection between the coupler and plug under pressure. This coupler is especially good for applications requiring repetitive connections and disconnections, where minimizing user fatigue is important.

Safety Lock TYPE "B": Automatic safety coupler designed to prevent accidental disconnects from the plug. The plug must be pushed further into the coupler body while the sleeve is pulled back in order to disconnect. Typical uses include weld and cut operations, diving, lift systems, air breathing equipment and any application where unintentional disconnecting would create a safety issue.

Double Shut-Off Series "DM" & "DE": These automatic couplings include a valve in both the couplers and plugs. A pin inside of the coupler opens the valve in the plug when a connection is made to allow the media to flow through. When disconnected, the valves close in both the coupler and plug. Double shut-off couplings are used with liquids or where it is desired to not allow the media to bleed off to atmosphere. NOTE: A double shut-off plug can only be used with a double shut-off coupler otherwise its valve will not be opened when connected.
