Products Description

The french coupling is a symmetrical system and apt for a large variety of applications. Its success is mostly because of the form, which enables perfect and easy closure. De symmetrical half couplings are tightened by turning the locking ring a quarter when it grips behind the lugs. The ensure even more tightness a wrench can be used to turn the locking ring even further.

On fixed installations often is chosen for a half coupling whithout a locking ring, seen only one locking ring is needed to tighten 2 couplings together.In some cases it is hard to couple a hose. In such a situation there can be chosen for a French coupling with a locking ring, but without the lugs.

Applications: French couplings are widely used for the transport of liquid or viscous hydrocarbons, bitumen included, chemicals or powders.

1. Application: For fire fighting service and other water related industries, it also comes as standard in tankers and bulk powder systems.
2. Material: The standard material is Aluminum, optional materials of Brass and Stainless Steel available.
3. Pressure: Maximum working pressure is 16 bar
4. Size: 1″ to 6″
