Eaton Corp. developed a new series of ISO 16028 stainless steel quick-disconnect/non-spill couplings incorporating standard anti-extrusion Teflon seals and Viton O-rings. The new FD89 – 2000 Series couplings provide with push-to-connect latching, flush-face valving and incorporate a safety sleeve lock. They are targeted toward applications that require corrosion resistance and long service life, the company said.
The connectors are machined from 316 stainless steel and conform dimensionally to ISO 16028, making them suitable for applications such as snow plows, marine systems and on and offshore oil and gas rigs, the company said.
The FD89 couplings are available in sizes a range of sizes from -04, -06, -08, -10, -12, -16, -24, and -32 (1/4 in. to 2.0 in. – ISO 6.3, 10.0, 12.5, 16.0, 19.0, 25.0, 27.0, 31.5, and 40.0) and offers operating pressures from 2175 to 5075 psi (150 to 350 bar) depending on size. Fluid loss per connection ranges from 0.006 cc to 0.100 cc, again depending on size.
