Made of FDA listed materials, these couplings are suitable for food and beverage applications and won’t impart tastes or odors to the product. They also meet NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water systems. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug. Plugs and sockets are polypropylene, which is lightweight with good abrasion and corrosion resistance.

Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.

Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.
