- The NPT 1/2 flat face hydraulic quick coupling conforms to ISO 16028 and is interchangeable with other bands half to half hydraulic quick release couplings conforming to this standard. It is a flat face quick coupling made of carbon steel, commonly used for skid steers, like many models of bobcat skid steers use this type of flat quick coupling. Of course, there are various other applications, such as mobile equipment or hydraulic tools that use this flat quick coupling. There are also a number of industries, such as oil industry equipment, hydraulic systems in rescue equipment, etc.
- The design of a flat face quick-coupling connection is more precise, compared to the common ball lock mechanical structure, the flat face quick coupling also uses steel balls to lock the male end of the quick coupling, but the flat quick coupling needs more mechanical cooperation. When a flat face quick coupling is connecting, the thimble rod causes the spring inside the male head to contract and the connection position is actually inside the male end, so there is much less fluid loss when connecting inside the quick coupling. This is why flat face quick release couplings are often called “no-spill” quick release couplings.
- The valve of a flat face quick coupling is much more sophisticated than a common poppet or ball valve, and when the flat quick coupling is connected, the valves at both ends open automatically, allowing the fluid circuit to be connected. When the flat quick coupling is disconnected, the valves at both ends close automatically so that the fluid does not leak.
- This flat face quick coupling body is made of carbon steel and all parameters in the ISO 16028 standard are based on the carbon steel material. It is the default boy material for the flat face quick coupling used in hydraulic applications. The quick coupling body is machined from a solid carbon steel bar, which can withstand higher working pressures. The flat face quick couplings are coated with Zn-Ni alloy, which provides better corrosion resistance than Zn plated.
- Since the application of this flat quick coupling is usually hydraulic fluid, commonly used in Skid steers or tractors, the default seal material is NBR, which has good oil resistance and a temperature range from -20˚C to 120˚C. For chemical fluid, higher temperature, etc., FKM or FFKM can be used as an alternative.
- This flat face quick coupling is 1/2″ body size, NPT 1/2″ threads, and is widely used in tractors and skid steers. Many brands, such as Bobcat, Caterpillar, Kubota, etc., use this type of flat face quick coupling. The male and female ends of the quick release coupling are both NPT 1/2 female threads. NPT thread is the American standard, National Pipe Thread, commonly found in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and other countries. It is important to note that NPT threads are pipe threads and the thread size is not directly equal to the ID or OD of the thread. It should be identified by dimensional standards.
- This flat quick-release coupling conforms to ISO 16028 and is, therefore, half to half interchangeable with any manufacturer’s flat quick-release coupling that conforms to this standard. Different brands of quick-release couplings can be used half and half. There is no need to worry about any problems.
