Couplings are made of FDA listed materials, so they’re suitable for food and beverage applications and won’t impart tastes or odors to the product. 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.

Made of polypropylene, these couplings are lighter in weight than metal cam-and-groove couplings. Also known as dry disconnects and double shut-off couplings, they have a shut-off valve in the plug and the socket for minimal fluid loss when disconnecting your hose line.

Quick-disconnect couplings consist of a plug and a socket that join with a latch so you can easily connect and disconnect your line.
