Unique full-open gate type valve mechanism realizes low pressure loss and high flow rate, which reduces required source air volume.
The flow rate is increased by up to 40% more than that of conventional cuplas.
During connection and disconnection the valve is closed enabling connection/disconnec
tion under zero line pressure.
Then the sleeve of the socket is returned to its original position, the purge mechanism releases the residual air pressure in the plug eliminating an unpleasant popping noise and a hose whip back motion on disconnection.
Built in sleeve lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnection of Cuplas assuring safe operation.
The valve can be opened and closed while the socket and plug is connected
The weight is reduced by 30 to 45% compared with that of conventional cuplas
