Push To Connect Quick Couplings

Push-to-connect quick couplings are designed to simplify the connection and disconnection of hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid systems. The push to connect design are widely used in hydraulic quick couplings. These couplings allow for fast, easy, and secure connections with minimal effort, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

Push to connect is easy to operate to connect and disconnect, and They are also divided into different designs. Flat face quick couplings, ball-lock quick couplings and push-pull quick couplings.

Flat face quick couplings actually use a ball-lock structure inside the female body to lock the male coupler’s groove of the upper section. However, because of their flush face design, people usually name them flat face quick couplings. To connect them, you only need to align the male coupler with the female coupler and push the male into the female to connect directly. There is usually an design that turns the sleeve to prevent accidental disconnection. Disconnection is also very convenient. You only need to align the lock ball and pull the sleeve on the female body. The male coupler will automatically pop out of the female body and disconnect.

The Ball-lock quick couplings usually means the ISO A, ISO B, and some other quick couplings designed with the similar structures. When the connect them, need to actuate Push Sleeve, then push the male coupler into the female, and then release the sleeve, the balls will lock the male couplers. And disconnect the quick coupling, only actuate the push sleeve, it will be disconnected easily.

The Push Pull design is an updated design, they also ball-lock deisgn, but when you connect and disconnect, don’t operate the female coupler, but just push the male into the female coupler to connect and pull the male coupler from the female coupler to disconnect. And they won’t disconnect accidentally. When connected or disconnected, it’s the user’s push and pull action that drives the sleeve or the internal structure to disconnect. They are a newer structure that is more convenient to operate than ordinary ball locks.
