Quick Couplers for High Pressure Applications





Couplings and hydraulic adapters utilized in high pressure applications above 10,000 psi must be durable and reliable.  High-pressure couplers must include specifications such as hardened steel for high burst pressure, thread-to-connect couplings and flat-faced couplers depending on the application. Multi-coupling plates are a convenient and safe way to quickly connect or disconnect multiple lines safely and efficiently.  

Stucchi Offers High-Pressure Connection Solutions

Stucchi is a leading supplier of reliable hydraulic quick coupler solutions including connections under high-pressure above 10,000 psi.  We offer patented coupling solutions which provide leak free connections under pressure including:

  • IVHP – the IVHP series includes thread-to-connect high-pressure couplings fabricated in hardened steel with nitrile seals.  The IVHP series provides higher burst pressure than comparable couplers.  This high-pressure coupling is ideal in construction equipment, hydraulic wrenches and tools, used in Industrial, Mobile and Oil and Gas applications.

The IVHP series is interchangeable with Enerpac, Hydraulic Jack and Parker3000 with a working pressure of 700 bar/10,000 psi and sizes ranging from 1/4” to 3/8”.

  • AHP – the AHP series is a high-pressure, flat-faced coupling with a patented safety system which prevents disconnection accidentally.  The patented sleeve system automatically rotates with connection to engage the safety lock.  The sleeve must be in proper alignment with the release notch to disconnect the locking pin providing leak-free connections under pressure.
The AHP coupling series is utilized in industrial machinery and equipment, mobile construction and hydraulic tools with working pressure of 700-720 bar/10,000 psi. The AHP series is available in sizes from 1/8” through 3/8” with locking sleeves in a flat face coupling design.
