The thread-together design of the couplings provides the necessary security for high-pressure applications.
With a stainless steel construction, Thread-Lok couplings have an operational pressure range of vacuum to 276bar.
Other material selections are also available for low-pressure and high-pressure, up to 350bar.
Operation is simple, fast and reliable.
To fully connect, the coupler half is threaded onto the nipple half until a torque sleeve moves forward and automatically locks on to the nipple half tangs.
By pulling back on the torque sleeve, the lock is disengaged and the coupler can be unthreaded.
The Thread-Lok range meets or exceeds all requirements of the MIL-C-25427 and AS1709 SAE aerospace standards and is available with a range of accessories including protective dust enclosures, pressure caps and plugs and built-in relief valves.
