Micro Couplers

Micro couplers are used in systems where rapid and repeated connecting and disconnecting of fluid conductors is required. They are ideal for use on test equipment, patch systems, quick set-ups of machines, jigs and fixtures. Micro couplers offer an easy solution, without the use of tools, for the connection and disconnection of single tubing.

The plug connector has a specially designed electroless nickel plated brass body with a Buna-N O-ring retained opposite the barb. This quality O-ring ensures a leakproof seal when connected to a socket component. The plug connector body is secured within the plug connector nut by a c-clip enabling the barb to float and rotate thus accommodating the natural twist of the tubing and providing for easier installation.

The compact straight-thru socket connector is used on systems where unrestricted flow is required. When coupled with the plug connector the overall length is only 5/8”- ideal for limited space applications.

The unique design of the in-line socket connector with shutoff valve ensures maximum flow and a reliable seal. When connected, flow is directed into a side port on the stem and out the output port. When disconnected a spring slides the stem forward thereby sealing the valve seat and stopping the flow. A Buna-N O-ring retained near the end of the valve stem ensures a reliable, leakproof seal.

The bulkhead socket connector with shut-off valve provides the durability and convenience often required for use on test equipment. This miniature coupler (1.53 OAL) can be mounted on a control panel via the 15/32-32 thread, two (2) jam nuts and a lock washer are provided to secure the component in place.
