Thermoplastic Couplings
Spectrum™ Series
Description
Parker’s Spectrum™ Series couplers are the most advanced
engineered thermoplastic couplings available. Spectrum
Series couplings combine compact size, high flow capability,
and light weight design to meet a broad range of coupling
applications. Three material combinations allow the couplings
to be used in markets as diverse as chemical processing,
automation equipment, semi-conductor and food processing.
Spectrum Series can be used in many applications previously
reserved for stainless steel couplings. Additional features
include: convenient push-to-connect design, a wide range of
port options, and modular design.
