Both halves of the coupling are of an identical design with no separate male or female halves.
Either half can, therefore, be connected to any similar size of coupling.
The hose coupling can be connected to another style, eg. Hose tail, female or male threaded
and blanking caps. It is essential that the distance between locking ears (KA) is the same on
all fittings.
any adapter (male) may be coupled with any coupler (female) of the same size. this provides
maximum flexibility in setting up the most convenient and efficient quick coupling system needed
for the job.
adaptors and couplers are available with either male or female bsp thread or hose shank
connections.
each part carries a letter prefix which designates whether it is an adaptor or a coupler and whether
it is threaded male or female or hose shank.
the letter systems are standard in the Industry and facilitates proper identification come the basic
parts available.
