A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a hydraulic hose line. All of the Pioneer quick-disconnect plugs are compatible with any of the Pioneer quick-disconnect sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size. Plugs are compatible with Parker 4000, Parker 4200, SafeWay S20, and SafeWay S40 sockets. Also known as double shut-off couplings, the plugs and sockets both have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated. Plugs and sockets are zinc-plated steel, which is strong and durable with fair corrosion resistance.

Plugs are also known as nipples.

Sleeve-lock sockets connect by sliding back the sleeve on the socket, inserting the plug, and releasing the sleeve. To disconnect, slide the sleeve back and pull out the plug.

Push-to-connect sockets are easier to connect than sleeve-lock sockets. Connect by pushing the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.

Pioneer × ISO Minimal-Spill couplings let you adapt between different quick-disconnect styles. ISO Minimal-Spill quick-disconnect couplings are also known as ISO 16028 couplings.

Plugs and sockets with a gasket offer extra protection against leaks.

NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

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.
