Connect under pressure nipple
Applications
Parker FEC Series nipple provide connect-under-pressure
capability with up to 3000 PSI of trapped pressure in the nipple
and are ideal for applications where residual pressure makes
reconnect difficult. Utilized primarily in the construction
equipment market, FEC Series products are commonly found
on hydraulic attachments used in skid steer applications. The
FEC Series mates with the FEM Series interface ISO 16028
couplers.
Features:
•
Connect-Under-Pressure nipple
•
Hardened locking surface
•
Steel construction, Chromium-6 Free plating
for corrosion resistance
•
Anti blowout bonded nipple seal
•
Flush face valving
Performance
Connect Under Pressure Operation
FEC Series products operate slightly different from traditional
non-spill couplings. With no pressure in the coupler and up
to 3000 PSI of trapped pressure in the nipple, begin to couple
the mating halves. Delay momentarily during connection to
allow trapped pressure to equalize with the mating half before
completing the connection.
