Manuli VEP Screwed Flat-Face Couplings
Manuli VEP Screwed Flat-Face Couplings
The VEP screw flat-face coupling is the solution for hydraulic applications requiring connection and disconnection with residual or trapped pressure in the circuit.
The screw-to-connect mechanism eliminates the brinelling and premature wear associated with locking-ball push-to-connect designs under high impulse loading.
The triple valve system safely manages pressure across the connection event - preventing pressure spikes and uncontrolled fluid release that would otherwise occur when a depressurised male meets a pressurised female body.
| Key Benefits |
|---|
Triple valve system - Safe connection and disconnection with trapped residual pressure on either side. |
Flat face valves - Wipe clean easily, minimal contamination and fluid loss. |
Screw to connect -Eliminates brinelling and premature failure in high impulse circuits. |
Modular BSP construction -Wide range of termination options throughout. |
HOW TO USE
- Before connecting, clean the flat mating surface of coupling to avoid inclusion of contamination into the circuit
- To connect pull forward the connection sleeve of the female coupling. Align the female and male coupling holding forward the connection sleeve and thread together turning the sleeve. Keep couplers aligned during connection process. Do not push to connect couplings. The screwing of the threads should be done by hand without the use of tools for the first part of the connection. The use of tools for the second part of connection can be necessary if there is high residual pressure in the circuit. Screw the connection sleeve of the female until metal surface contact with the male coupling is complete. Tighten the sleeve to the base of the male using the tightening torque spec. as indicated in the table below.
- To uncouple turn sleeve from contact position using a wrench, then uncrew making sure the couplings stay aligned throuh the entire process.
