Hydraulic quick couplersprovide fluid-tight connection, help in changing machinery & hoses and handle pressure differences in liquid & gas transfer applications. These hydraulic couplings consist of two parts, a plug (nipple or male end) and a socket (coupling body or female end) for quick connection / disconnection of hydraulic lines to any equipment. Hydraulic couplings can have a diverse style of connection styles like push-to-connect, pull-to-connect, threaded connections and universal interchanges.
Snap-Titeoffers both nipple and coupling body, constructed of a wide variety of materials like steel, stainless steel and brass. Snap-Tite couplersor coupler bodies are the female ends of the hydraulic couplings. They connect to the nipple or male end of a coupling for a secure, leak free connection.
Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is made of 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability and structural strength. This Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body can handle temperatures ranging from -40 to 200 degrees F. It has female NPSF type fittings and a sleeve lock system for connecting to a hose / nipple. The sleeve lock system in the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body also prevents accidental disconnection of the coupler body from a nipple. Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body features poppet valve design with nitrile / Buna-N seal for shutting off liquid / gas flow when the couplings are disconnected from the hose / machinery.
Raptor Supplies also offers this Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body in variants having FNPT connection, flush face valve, Viton seal and diverse flow rate / temperature / pressure range.
