The FIRG is the Original Flat Face Coupler


The FIRG is the original flat face quick coupler, providing leak free hydraulic connections with versatile interchangeability meeting all ISO 16028 standards.  The FIRG series of flat face quick couplers protects against early wear and tear caused by movement and vibration between the coupler and nipple components. This high performance quick coupler provides long lasting durability with competitive pricing.

The FIRG is ideal in a wide range of industrial applications and can be found worldwide anywhere fluid control with leak free performance is required. This durable coupler protects against the weight of hoses in tubing when installed horizontally and protects against pressure impulses.  The FIRGQ includes quench polish quench (QPQ) plating for increased durability and corrosion resistance.

FIRG Quick Coupler Engineering Features

The FIRG flat face quick coupler provides reliable hydraulic quick connect solutions to many general industrial applications, agricultural, mining and mobile construction equipment.  The FIRG can be found anywhere contamination of hydraulic circuits and fluid loss must be reduced or eliminated.  This versatile quick coupler is available in sizes ranging from a 1/4” to 2” with port options BSP and NPT.

This ISO 16028 quick coupler offers a working pressure of 20 to 30 MPa/2900-4350 psi, with minimal air inclusion during quick connect processes. Avoid fluid loss during quick connect and quick release while meeting tight tolerances to ensure equal loading of couplers.

Threaded Quick Couplers for Failsafe Hydraulic Connections


Threaded quick couplings provide added assurances to hydraulic applications with failsafe connections you can rely on. Thread to connect quick couplers are ideal in applications with high pressure impulses or where residual or trapped pressure exists in a line. Hydraulic threaded couplers resist brinelling and provide fluid control to hydraulic circuit processes which demand leak free connections.

Threaded Quick Couplings Proven in Demanding Applications

Demanding industrial applications require reliable, heavy duty quick couplers which are designed to withstand rigorous terrain, harsh weather elements and high pressure processes. Threaded quick couplings provide peace of mind to operators in many industrial applications such as:
  • Oil and gas exploration and excavation
  • Heavy duty construction
  • Agricultural equipment processes
  • Industrial plants, machinery and equipment
  • Mobile equipment
  • Offshore equipment and shipyards
Failsafe hydraulic connections are required in these industrial applications and many others to prevent environmental contamination and provide safety to workers.  Consulting with an experienced hydraulic solutions provider will help you choose the right quick couplings to meet your specifications.

Stucchi Offers Leak Free Threaded Quick Couplings

Stucchi offers a vast product line of hydraulic quick couplers, multi-coupling plates, dust caps, accessories, check valves and replacement couplers. Our threaded quick couplings are proven in applications worldwide and include:

VEP – This threaded quick coupling is proven in many applications with high pressure impulses or where pressure exists in a line. The VEP series provides the reliable connection of a thread to connect design with a flat face design to avoid fluid loss.  Prevent contamination of hydraulic circuits with the VEP which offers many features and benefits.

VEP features include:
  • Flat face design
  • Patented internal valve for quick connect/disconnect under pressure
  • Yellow O-ring indicator for quick visual ID
  • Port options include SAE, NPT, BSP, ORFS
