Ensure Safe Hydraulic Connections in High Pressure Applications


Industrial applications which operate under high pressure such as oil and gas extraction require hydraulic fittings and adapters proven to withstand the pressure and prevent leaks.  Preventing hydraulic fluid leaks is critical in pressurized processes to protect workers and the environment.  Pressurized hydraulic fluid can be extremely dangerous and potentially fatal when leaked under pressure at or above 10,000 psi. 
Consulting with a hydraulic quick coupler expert is beneficial to prevent catastrophic losses with reliable, leak-free hydraulic connections. 
Stucchi Offers Process Analysis and Hydraulic Solutions
Stucchi is recognized worldwide for delivering proven hydraulic solutions with expert consultation and process analysis.  After thoroughly evaluating our oil and gas customer’s hydraulic connections we discovered a potentially dangerous situation.  Leaking quick couplers created exposure to trapped and stored energy and significant safety concerns to workers and to the environment. 
We offered a solution with our threaded flat face couplers, the VEP Series, which allow for leak free quick connect and quick release performance.  The VEP Series includes thread to connect hydraulic couplings which feature a heavy duty and auto-locking mechanisms to prevent fluid loss, even under pressure. 
Our VEP series of threaded flat face couplings includes:
  • VP
  • VEP
  • VEPHD
  • VEPHDL
In addition to these proven threaded coupling solutions, we offer high pressure quick couplers engineered to withstand high pressure applications up to 10,000 psi.  Our high pressure quick couplers include:
  • IVHP
  • AHP
Stucchi offers proven hydraulic solutions to high pressure applications and many industrial operations worldwide.  Our quick couplers are found in many industrial processes, oil and gas applications, agricultural equipment and mobile operations, keeping your equipment up and running with less downtime.  We provide hydraulic solutions which improve safety and productivity. Check out our many case studies where we have improved hydraulic connections for increased overall operational improvements.

Why High Quality Quick Couplings Reduce Risk


High quality quick couplings make the difference between smooth running, functioning equipment and catastrophic, costly losses. Industrial machinery and equipment powered by hydraulic systems require quality hydraulic quick couplers to maintain reliable connections. The connection point is the most sensitive area in hydraulic systems and requires reliable quick couplers to maintain optimum fluid control and pressure. 

In industry sectors such as oil and gas extraction, agricultural and many industrial applications, you must rely upon your equipment to meet operational goals in a safe working environment.   Sealing off the hydraulic system with leak free hydraulic quick couplers is mandatory to meet business objectives without unexpected, devastating losses.

Reduce Risk with Reliable Quick Couplings

Quick couplings must provide reliable connections to protect the hydraulic circuit of machinery and equipment even when under strong mechanical stress. Accidents caused by hydraulic quick coupler failure puts the company at risk for devastating financial and safety related losses.  Potential risks associated with quick coupler failure include: 

  • Financial losses - unexpected equipment downtime can result in tens of thousands of dollars in lost productivity.
  • Safety losses - Hydraulic fluids, when heated and pressurized, can result in serious physical injury and even fatal outcomes. Accidents in the workplace can result in devastating losses to a company, with immediate and long-term financial losses. 
  • Loss of reputation - Injuries and accidents in the workplace can ruin a company’s reputation and just one environmental accident can ruin a good reputation that took decades to build. Hydraulic failure can ruin a company’s reputation with current and potential new clients, having long-term negative effects.
  • Environmental contamination - hydraulic failure resulting in fluid leaking into the ground, groundwater and bodies of water can cause irreparable damage to natural resources. Contamination of the soil in farming and agricultural applications causes additional, devastating financial losses.
  • Costs of repair and replacement - hydraulic fluid contamination can damage the hydraulic circuit on machinery and equipment and further damage mechanical components, requiring costly repairs or replacement of equipment.
A company can protect their investments, their employees and their reputation by choosing quality hydraulic quick couplings for all hydraulic machinery and equipment. Consult with an experienced hydraulic quick coupling expert to be sure that your quick couplers meet your application requirements. Stucchi offers a vast product line along with custom designed quick coupler solutions based on your specific application and environmental requirements.
