Improve Safety and Efficiency with Multi-Coupling Plates


Multi-coupling plates are proven to improve safety and efficiency in applications which utilize multiple hydraulic lines. Performing maintenance on machinery and equipment were multiple hydraulic lines are used can be time-consuming and allows an increased opportunity for error. Multi-coupling plates facilitate quick connect and quick disconnect of many lines at once with one easy movement.
Multi-coupler plates drastically improve productivity anywhere multiple or large diameter lines are used. Quickly connect or disconnect 2 to 10 hydraulic lines with one simple movement which requires minimal force.  Mounting your multiple hydraulic lines on multi-coupler plates significantly improves productivity in many applications across a wide range of industries.
Demanding applications which utilize pneumatic or hydraulic circuits on various machinery and equipment realize drastic improvements in efficiency with multi-coupling options. Quick connect and disconnect of multiple lines at once improves safety while preventing leaks and equipment failure.
Stucchi Offers Multi-Coupler Quick Connect Solutions
Stucchi offers one of the widest selections available of hydraulic quick couplers proven in critical and demanding applications.  Our knowledgeable technical team partners with you to design the optimum quick connect solution which improves safety, efficiency and overall business operations.
Our multi-coupler plate products include:
GR – the GR multi-coupling plate provides a single handle connection to multiple coupling lines in pneumatic, water or hydraulic oil industrial applications. Improve productivity by simultaneously coupling are uncoupling 2 to 10 hydraulic lines with a residual pressure up to 3625 psi with one single movement. Sizes are available in 3/8 “ to 1 1/4" to assist quick tool changes.

DP – the DP multi-coupling plates provides quick connect solutions for 2 to 4 hydraulic or electric lines with a working pressure up to 5075 psi. Sizes are available from 3/8” to 1” with multiple port options.

GRE – improves applications with 4 to 18 lines which are of similar diameter and provides an auto locking mechanism to prevent unwanted disconnection.

BM3 – provides quick connect of large diameter lines with one easy movement.

SV2 Plate – reduces equipment downtime and eliminates crossed lines, also featuring an auto locking mechanism.

Most Popular Threaded Coupling for Pressure Impulses


Threaded couplings provide hydraulic connection solutions in applications which experience trapped or residual pressure in a line or are subject to high-pressure impulses. Thread to connect quick couplers eliminate premature wear and brinelling in pressurized processes to provide longer-lasting quick coupler solutions. Threaded couplings protect workers and prevent environmental contamination and worse, catastrophic failure.

Threaded flat face couplers are the most popular choice for leak free quick connect and quick disconnect solutions in demanding, pressurized processes.

Stucchi Offers Threaded Couplings for Leak Free Connections

Stucchi is synonymous for quick coupler solutions with nearly 60 years of experience providing hydraulic quick couplers.  You can find quick couplers by Stucchi in a multitude of applications worldwide. We offer threaded couplings with heavy-duty and automatic locking options for failsafe connections.

Our threaded coupling product line includes:
  • VP
  • VEP
  • VEPHD
  • VEPHDL
VP Series Threaded Flat Face Auto Locking Coupler
The VP series threaded flat face coupler features an auto locking sleeve for easy quick connect and quick disconnect under high residual pressure. The VP series delivers positive secondary retention in applications where residual pressure is trapped in a line or high-pressure impulses exist.
VP Threaded Coupling Features and Applications
The VP threaded coupling is available with various port options and sizes ranging from 1/4” to 1 1/2", providing a working pressure of 40-60 MPa/5800-8700 psi range and residual pressure of 25 MPa/3625 psi.  The auto locking safety sleeve gives positive secondary retention in a variety of applications.
Applications ideal for the VP threaded coupling include construction equipment with tool attachments that require quick connect and disconnect under residual pressure and all large equipment processes with junction points in the circuit such as drilling machines, cranes, porta power and well head drives. The VP is also ideal in excavators which require auxiliary lines for attachments such as hammers, films, grapples and more.
