Hydraulic couplings avoid metal-to-metal
sealing
The latest GSE hydraulic couplings from Parker Hannifin Corporation, Stratoflex Products Division, feature superior sealing during transition and in the uncoupled state.
Supplied in the UK by Icore International, the latest GSE hydraulic couplings from Parker Hannifin, Stratoflex Products Division, are not only fully compatible with many existing 3000 psi and 1000 psi couplings used in ground service equipment, they also feature superior sealing during transition and in the uncoupled state This is achieved by the use of thermoplastic and elastomeric valve seals which completely eliminate the need to rely on metal-to-metal sealing

Offering convenient one-handed connection and disconnection, Parker Stratoflex GSE couplings provide positive visual and tactile indication of full engagement.
The knurled outer surface of the connectors provides a secure yet comfortable grip, while an integral retaining ring ensures that the actuator sleeve cannot slide down the hose.
The safety of these versatile couplings is further enhanced by a ratchet locking device which guards against accidental disconnection.
Available in nominal sizes from 6.35 to 31.75mm, Parker Stratoflex GSE couplings are designed primarily for use with Type II hydraulic fluid to MIL-H-83282 and MIL-H-5606 over the temperature range -54 to 135C.
They meet specifications MIL-H-5440 Type 1 and 2, MIL-C-25427 Type 1 and 2, and MIL-C-5502.
Products in the GSE range may be ordered as full coupling assemblies, or individually as nipple half, coupler half, cap or plug.
