QUICK COUPLINGS GENERAL INFORMATION

How To Select
Proper coupler selection is important because of the variety of media for which they are used. Four basic factors should be considered to assure proper selection:

Type Operation Flow Media Type

All couplers consist of two basic components a socket and a plug. The type of coupler varies by the valving arrangements in these two components.

One Way Shut-Off

Two Way Shut-Off

Straight-Thru

In a One Way Shut-Off, only the socket has valving to shut off the flow when disconnected; it is, therefore, installed on the pressure side of the line. The plug has no valving and exhausts the downstream line at disconnect.

The Two Way Shut-Off provides valving in both the socket and the plug, thereby shutting off flow at both of the disconnected ends. Originally developed for hydraulic lines, they are suitable for many other media because of the variety of metals and seal compounds offered.

Straight-Thru couplers, as the name implies, do not have valving in either the socket or the plug. Therefore, both ends of the line are exhausted at disconnect.

NOTE: The One Way Shut-Off is the only type offered by DYNA-CON. Please contact Foster Manufacturing for alternate types.

Operation
Operation refers to the action required to connect and disconnect a coupler. Operation is a function of sockets only and does not vary for plugs.

Manual

Automatic

Safety Coupler

Manual sockets require manual retraction of the sleeve to both connect and disconnect the plug.

Automatic sockets accept the plug by simple insertion into the socket and do not require retraction of the sleeve to connect.

Safety sockets are a variation of automatic operation. The socket accepts the plug by insertion. The sleeve is moved straight forward to lock and turn on the air. The sleeve is moved back by rotating first to the left and then to the right. This shuts off the supply line, exhausts the downstream line, and then releases the plug.

QUICK COUPLINGS GENERAL INFORMATION

Flow
The most important factor in properly sizing couplers is flow. Flow data is given throughout the catalog for industrial interchange design couplers. Most One Way Shut-Off non-standard couplers have the same flow as the same basic size industrial interchange design. All flows shown are for FPT couplers.

Media
The media flowing through the coupler will usually determine the type. Compressed air, many other gasses, and some liquids can be handled by One Way Shut-Off couplers. Hydraulic fluids as well as many other liquids and some gasses require Two Way Shut-Off.

QUICK COUPLINGS

SAFETY VENT
One-Way Shut-Off Design
Zero Pressure Connect Type Industrial Interchange Style 1/4" to 3/4" Body Sizes, 1/4" to 1" Connection Sizes

The DYNA-CON DC Series Safety Vent couplings allow for safe and easy connection and disconnection under zero downstream line pressure to help prevent the possibility of an inadvertent or unplanned disconnect.
Socket end Body Sleeve

Extra thick heat-treated steel walls to provide extended service life. Zero pressure connect/disconnect design vents downstream pressure for safe, easy connect/disconnect. Diagram demonstrates principle of operation O-ring plug seal for improved leak-free performance. No valve, spring or washer to block flow of air or need replacement.

Depressurized & unlocked

(plug can now be inserted or removed)

Pressurized & locked

Depressurized & locked Sleeve operation (Must have plug inserted for sleeve to operate.)

SPECIFICATIONS
Construction: Zinc with clear chromate plated steel body case hardened. Seal: Buna-N Interchangeability: With all industrial quick couplings that comply with MIL-C-4109. Operation: Zero pressure connect/disconnect. Connect insert plug, slide forward. Disconnect rotate sleeve, slide back, and rotate. (see diagram above) Working Pressure: 300 PSIG; Vacuum to 26"Hg (connected) Body Sizes: 1/4" through 3/4" Connection Sizes: 1/4" through 1" Performance Data: Refer to table on page 3.

FEATURES
Safe, Easy to Use. When disconnecting, all downstream air is bled off automatically. The hazard of flying or snaking air hoses is totally eliminated. Connecting the coupling is easier since the action does not require engagement under full line pressure. Washerless. The Safety Vent socket uses O-rings instead of washers for sealing the mating plug. The coupling does not leak, coupling life is greatly extended and maintenance costs are drastically reduced. More Efficient. By eliminating the need for restrictive poppet valves the design provides up to 30% greater air flow compared to a standard coupling. Air tools operate more efficiently because of the reduced pressure drop across the coupling.
