Overview: The 71 Series Flush Face/Dry Break Couplings by Snap-tite are designed to minimize air inclusion and fluid loss, preventing spillage and contamination. These couplings are ideal for high-pressure applications up to 10,000 psi (690 bar) and are available in various materials including steel with zinc yellow dichromate plating and 316 stainless steel.
Key Features:- Push-to-Connect: Allows for one-hand operation when one half is mounted, simplifying the connection and disconnection process.
- Rugged Construction: Suitable for high impulse applications.
- Versatility: Available in multiple sizes ranging from 1/8" to 2".
- Special Seals: Available for handling troublesome media, with consultation from the factory.
- Det Norske Veritas Certified: Suitable for North Sea applications.
- Sleeve Lock: Provides protection against accidental disconnection.
Pressure Ratings: The couplings are designed for maximum working pressures and minimum burst pressures across various sizes, with specific ratings for steel and stainless steel materials. For high impulse applications, pressure ratings should be multiplied by 0.6.
Technical and Dimensional Information: Detailed dimensions are provided for each coupling size, with specifications for hex and diameter measurements. Flow charts indicate maximum recommended flow rates and pressure loss for hydraulic fluid.
Ordering Information: The document provides a guide on how to order the couplings, including material, series, coupling half, size, end
fitting type, and seal options. Spare parts kits and plastic dust caps are available for maintenance and protection.
Warnings: Users are cautioned about the potential risks of improper selection or use of the products, which can lead to serious consequences. It is emphasized that users must ensure all performance, safety, and warning requirements are met for their specific applications.
