Full flow couplings - TKU/TKM

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information on TKU and TKM couplings, which are designed for high flow transfer and full flow applications. These couplings feature a spherical valve for optimal flow rate and pressure drop ratio, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Specifications:

Both TKU and TKM couplings are equipped with a spherical valve that ensures direct fluid flow.
Safety is ensured as valves can only be opened when both coupling halves are fully connected.
TKU is a symmetrical coupling with no male or female differentiation, requiring low connection force due to lip seals.
TKM is a non-unisex version suitable for a wider range of media, using an O-ring interface seal.

Performance and Reliability:

Designed to handle high flow, pressure peaks, and vibrations.
Quick and simple connection with cleats system, preventing misuse by ensuring TKU and TKM halves cannot be connected to each other.

Ease of Use:

Intuitive handling without a predefined sequence for lever movement.
Integrated swivel prevents hose torsion, with options for factory locking.
Protection caps are provided to protect against dirt and mechanical impact.

Applications:

Fluid distribution and transfer systems.
Loading and unloading of tank trucks, vessels, containers, and tanks.
Fitting on fueling vehicles and pump units.
Fast connection of fuel supply hoses and cooling lines.

Available Options:

Mechanical coding with a key locking system to prevent circuit inversion.
Colour coding for easy circuit identification.

Technical Specifications:

Sealing options include O-rings made from various materials such as FKM, NBR, EPDM, and FFKM.
Predominantly constructed from stainless steel with polyamide dust caps.
Available in various sizes with specific thread options (BSP or NPT).

Part Numbers: Detailed part numbers are provided for different models and configurations, including dimensions and weight.
