Quick Coupling Solutions for Multiple Hydraulic Lines


Multiple hydraulic or electric lines pose a challenge to industrial many applications where efficient quick disconnect processes are required.  Quickly and efficiently connecting and disconnecting hydraulic lines with leak free connections is required to meet productivity schedules and provide safety in the workplace. Multi-coupling plates provide quick connect solutions for multiple hydraulic lines, allowing simultaneous coupling are uncoupling with one simple movement. 

Multi-Coupling Plates Provide Many Benefits

Multi-coupling plates provide simple quick connect solutions with one single movement required to quickly connect or disconnect multiple lines.  Stucchi offers a wide selection of multi-coupling plates which improve fluid control in industrial and pressurized applications.  Quickly connect or disconnect large diameter or multiple lines from two to ten at once with one simple movement which requires very little force.  Multi-coupling plates offer the following benefits:

        One simple, single movement with little force required
        Prevent accidental disconnection with safety locks
        Connect or disconnect multiple lines under pressure
        Connect lines with similar or varying diameters depending upon the application
        Eliminate early wear and brinneling with mechanical connection
        Easy replacement and maintenance of quick couplers

Flat Face ISO 16028 Hydraulic Couplers


The international standards for flat or flushed face quick coupler interchangeability is detailed with ISO 16028, for couplings rated for use within a pressure range of 20 MPa - 31.5 MPa. ISO 16028 does not apply to high-pressure quick couplers. The A Premier flat face coupler series provides ISO 16028 interchangeability with no leak performance to a broad range of applications.

A Premier ISO 16028 Flat Face Couplers

The A Premier flat face coupler series provides superior flow characteristics with ISO 16028 interchangeability.  The no spill, leak free design is popular in many applications to eliminate fluid loss and contamination.  That A Premier series is found a wide range of industrial processes including:

        Industrial hydraulic connections
        Construction equipment
        Agricultural equipment
        Oil and gas exploration
        Mobile equipment

The versatile flush face coupling improves operation in these and many other industrial applications with long life and reliable performance.  The A Premier is known for providing maximum equipment uptime, a safe workplace and protection to the environment.  Avoid costly shutdowns or employee accidents due to quick coupler failure with the A Premier ISO 16028 quick coupler. 

Engineering features include port options of NPT, SAE, JIC, DIN, BSP and ORFS in sizes ranging from 1/8” to 1 ½”.  Constructed with hardened carbon steel, the A Premier supports processes with a working pressure of 3915 through 6090 psi and 27 MPa through 42 MPa. This durable coupler features a special U design in PTFE and a locking system which prevents unwanted disconnection.
Convenient port options with configurations in British (BSP) and German (DIN) are available in the International ISO 16028 series.

Stucchi is a leading global supplier of hydraulic quick couplers which provide leak-free, long lasting performance.
