To minimize fluid loss when connecting and disconnecting your line, these couplings have flat faces for a close fit and shut-off valves to stop the flow—they meet ISO 16028, which is an international standard for hose couplings. They’re also known as flush-face and double shut-off couplings. A complete coupling consists of a plug and socket (both sold separately). They connect and disconnect quickly, so use them if you need to access a line frequently. Made of 316 stainless steel, they have excellent corrosion resistance and withstand a variety of chemicals.

Plugs are also known as nipples.

Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size. Pressure ratings are given for static (constant) pressure conditions.

Warning: Never attempt to connect or disconnect couplings when operating at maximum pressure. Stop the flow before you disconnect the line.
