Overview
Stucchi VEP HD Series is the
ultimate solution and most
popular to hydraulic circuit
applications subject to high
pressure impulses, and circuits
which experience high residual
or trapped pressure in a line. The
VEP HD thread-to-connect design
eliminates premature wear
or brinelling associated with
locking ball designs subjected
to high impulse pressures.
New HD version has upgraded
material, yellow o-ring visual ID,
and larger mating areas. The
patented internal valve allows
connection and disconnection
with high residual pressures.
Flat face design avoids loss of
hydraulic fluid during connection/
disconnection. Flat face design is
easy to clean, limiting contamination
into the circuit.
