Threaded Couplings for Hydraulic Quick Connect


Threaded couplings provide quick connect solutions in many industrial applications where pneumatic and hydraulic lines must be securely connected, as well as quickly and safely disconnected.  Many industrial processes such as agricultural and mobile equipment and oil and gas exploration require reliable hydraulic quick connect fittings in pressurized processes or where trapped or residual pressure may exist in a line. Threaded couplings offer hydraulic quick connect solutions to demanding, critical processes with leak free performance.

Stucchi Offers Proven Quick Connect Solutions

Stucchi is a leading global supplier of proven hydraulic quick connect solutions with nearly 60 years in business designing, engineering and manufacturing quick couplers for any application.  We offer a wide selection of quick connect and disconnect fittings in flat faced, threaded flat face, poppet interchange and many other designs. Our skilled and experienced engineers offer process analysis and assistance in selecting the right coupler for your application.

Choosing the right hydraulic quick connect fittings is key to achieving maximum productivity, efficiency and safety. Our thread to connect quick couplings are ideal in applications with residual or trapped pressure, providing reliable connections which prevent leaks and eliminate unplanned equipment downtime. Our threaded couplers include yellow O-rings or visual identification and interchangeable female locking adapters with failsafe thread to connect solutions.

Our thread to connect quick couplings include:

       VP – this is a popular quick coupler which includes an automatically locking sleeve for safe and easy quick connect under pressure.

       VEP – ideal in applications where residual or trapped pressure exists in a line.

       VEPHD – this threaded quick coupler provides heavier duty construction and the same benefits as the VEP with larger mating area.

       VEPHDL – this locking, heavy duty version provides failsafe quick coupler connections with strengthened material.
Stucchi provides these reliable connection solutions for efficient and safe quick connect or quick disconnect of hydraulic lines.  We are skilled in process evaluation and offering quick coupling solutions which maximize equipment uptime.  Our quick couplers have improved business operations across many industries worldwide, with proven case studies in several applications. 

Stucchi provides OEM support to many industrial processes with quick connect solutions to maximize equipment uptime.  We offer a vast selection of proven quick couplers in several configurations with custom designed hydraulic solutions available.  Contact us for more information and to speak with a member of our technical team.

Quick Connect Fittings for Pressurized Applications


High pressure applications such as offshore drilling in the oil and gas industry and high powered construction tools require reliable hydraulic connections.  Hydraulic and pneumatic quick couplers that withstand highly pressurized applications above 10,000 psi provide safety to employees in these fields and protect the environment against contamination.  High pressure quick couplers may be constructed of hardened steel with a flat face or thread to connect design.

Stucchi Offers High Pressure Quick Connect Fittings
Stucchi is a leading global supplier of pneumatic and hydraulic quick connect fittings with a vast product line and custom designed solutions. We offer our hydraulic quick couplers patented for no leak, high performance and pressurized applications. Our quick couplings rated for high-pressure processes include:
       A-HP – the A-HP series is a flat face coupler design engineered for high-pressure processes with a patented safety system that prevents unwanted disconnection. The safety locking mechanism rotates automatically to engage and lock when connected with proper alignment of the release notch and that coupling sleeve required to unlock and disconnect.

The added safety features are ideal in pressurized applications such as in the oil and gas industry, mobile equipment and industrial processes.  Sizes are available in 1/8” through 3/8”, with port options including BSP and NPT and a working pressure of 700 to 720 bar / 10,000 psi. This high pressure flat face quick coupler limits contamination and leaks of hydraulic fluid.

       IVHP – the IVHP series of high-pressure quick couplings is a thread to connect design engineered with nitrile seals and hardened steel for added durability.  This high pressure quick coupler provides increased burst pressure over comparable couplings and is ideal in high powered construction equipment such as hydraulic tools and wrenches. Mobile equipment and oil and gas industry also benefit from these reliable high-pressure quick couplers.

This series of high-pressure quick connect fittings is available in sizes from 1/4" to 3/8” with port option NPT and a working pressure of 700 bar/10,000 psi.  This thread to connect design with durable construction provides reliable quick connect solutions in pressurized applications.

Stucchi offers these hydraulic quick connect solutions for pressurized processes as well as a wide selection of quick connect fittings for any application.  We offer a skilled design and engineering team and nearly 60 years in business providing hydraulic quick connect solutions which improve efficiency, safety and overall business operations.

Stucchi is set apart from all other hydraulic quick connect suppliers with experienced engineers who provide custom hydraulic solutions based on your specific requirements. We offer process analysis and assistance in selecting the right quick coupler to improve business operations.

Hydraulic Quick Couplers Improve Efficiency and Safety


Many industrial processes require hydraulic quick couplers to connect hydraulic hoses on valuable machinery and equipment.  It is important for business and operations managers to realize the importance of these hydraulic quick couplers as selecting incorrect hydraulic hose fittings may result in catastrophic losses.  Choosing the right quick coupling for hydraulic hoses will not only provide reliable performance but will also improve efficiency and safety. 

Selecting the right hydraulic quick coupler will maximize equipment uptime with reliable connections which decrease or eliminate unplanned shutdowns.  Processes with hydraulic hose connections under high pressure pose a particular risk to employees and the environment when hydraulic quick connect couplings fail.  Using the right hydraulic quick couplers designed for the right working and residual pressure is important for safe and efficient operations. 

Industries which require reliable and durable quick connect hydraulic couplers include:

       Mobile equipment
       Agricultural processes
       Industrial manufacturing
       Construction machinery
       HVAC systems
       Oil and gas exploration and excavation
       Nuclear power plants

Hydraulic quick connect and disconnect processes must be reliable, safe and efficient to meet the demands of these industries and many others.  Challenging configurations with non-standard specifications may require the assistance of a hydraulic quick coupler supplier with experience in custom designed quick connect solutions.
