equipment. Compared to a
staple-lock coupling, it’s simpler,


safer, and faster.



A Coupling So Simple It’s Revolutionary





 Q Simple to understand and use



 Q
Specialized Mining Couplings, Adapters and Accessories

Easy to connect and disconnect by hand



 Q Withstands high impulse applications






 Q Uses a secure, visible locking system



 Q Releases residual pressure away from workers during disconnection



 




 Q Compact, to fit in tight quarters

 Q






Smooth, to prevent abrasion against adjoining hoses
