Dixon STMC2SS Stainless Steel 303 Hydraulic Quick-Connect Fitting, Coupler, 1/4" Male Coupling, 1/4"-18 Straight Thread

This Dixon STMC2SS stainless steel 303 straight through hydraulic quick-connect 1/4" coupler has a 1/4" €“ 18 male straight threaded end, valveless construction, NBR seal, and connects to straight through hydraulic quick connect plugs. The male straight threads connect to female straight threaded connections. Stainless steel 303 provides better machining characteristics than stainless steel 316, and the nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seal provides high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, tear, and compression set. This coupler's maximum working pressure (MWP) is 6,700 pounds per square inch (psi) (455.78 bar) at 70 degrees F, and the valveless construction provides maximum flow with minimum pressure drop. It is used for hydraulic applications in industrial operations.

Specifications

Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
