Also known as flush-face couplings, the plugs and sockets have a flat face, which allows them to mate close against each other, reducing fluid loss when connecting and disconnecting the line. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them when you need frequent access to a line. All of the International Standard ISO Minimal-Spill quick-disconnect plugs are compatible with any of the International Standard ISO Minimal-Spill quick-disconnect sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size. 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. They are zinc-plated steel, which has excellent strength and durability and fair corrosion resistance.

Sockets are push-to-connect style. To connect, push the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.

UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss 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.
