FFP Series
Connect under pressure flat face male couplers made to the ISO 16028 Standard dimensions
AKJia’s FFP Series male couplers are designed to connect under pressure by hand with up to 350 bars locked in the male half, making it an ideal choice for applications where the ability to connect under pressure is essential. The FFP Series also benefits from all the key features of the FF Series flat-face couplers.
Construction
- Carbon steel with trivalent plating
- Option: Carbon steel with zinc nickel plating (500 hours with no red rust in salt spray tests)
- Fitted with Nitrile seals – NBR (Viton seals – FKM available)
FEATURES
- Designed to connect with the FF Series female half
- Flat faces are easily wiped clean
- Allows for minimal inclusion of air and contaminants during connection
- Flat face design prevents fluid loss during disconnection
- Bidirectional flow
- Connect under pressure with up to 350 bars locked in the male half
- Female half must have zero pressure when connecting male half under pressure
APPLICATIONS
- Hot environments where thermal expansion of trapped oil may take place
- Hammer circuits
- High-pressure pulse applications
- Leak-free environments
- Construction plant,
- mobile equipment
- general industrial
- nuclear
- mining
- agricultural industries
Dimensions
The FFP series is a flat-face quick coupling male that can be operated under pressure and can work with the female coupler of the FF series flat quick coupling. Therefore, the connection dimensions of this series also comply with ISO16028:2023 standards.
