Features:
Applications:The versatile ISO A Series couplings are used in a wide range of hydraulic applications including construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, and in-plant systems. They can be found anywhere the fluid transfer lines need to be connected and disconnected for operation or maintenance of equipment. Rugged construction makes it a good choice for mobile applications including dump trucks, snow plows, refuse hauling, mining, asphalt paving, truck trailer connections and many more. In-plant machinery applications include hydraulic fluid, chemicals and gas lines for paper mills, steel production, and many varieties of plant maintenance and production equipment.
Note: Foster approved components (May be imported)
Performance:
Rated Pressure (PSI) / Working Pressure:
Temperature Range (std seals): -40° to +250° F.
As various manufacturers started to offer quick detachable couplers, most of them entered the market with their own design, which was different from their competitors. There was very little interchangeability from one brand to another. Efforts to correct this problem began about 50 years ago with the creation of a military specification (MIL-C-4109) for One Way Shut-Off couplers. This design is now the most commonly used and is referred to as the standard industrial interchange. Two Way Shut-Off designs are also being standardized, based on ISO dimensions. However, there are still many different Two Way designs, most of which vary by application. Although there is no organizational standard governing the design of Straight-Thru couplers, a standard industrial design (Foster Series FST) has developed from usage. Foster offers couplers that will interchange with many of these non-standard designs as shown below.
