Couplings are metal, which has better durability than plastic cam-and-groove hose couplings. They consist of a plug and a socket that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and push the levers down.

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.

Minimize chemical and petroleum spills during accidental disconnects, such as a driver pulling away during loading. These couplings have a shut-off valve on each half to stop flow when they’re separated.
