Quick Couplers

Hydraulics Online quick release couplers are connectors or fittings used to mate fluid lines with equipment that requires repeated connections and disconnections. They are used in both hydraulic applications and are designed for easy hand operation for use with fitting attachments primarily on mobile machinery.

Here at Hydraulics Online we offer the following types of quick couplers

• Pin type
• Ball type
• Flat face

Our couplers come in either BSPP or NPT thread.

There are however different types of quick couplers in connection with interchangeability, and it is important to know what series you are looking for when you want to use our couplers with your older couplers. You get many different series, but the 3 main series that are on offer in south Africa is a DIN spec coupler, ISA type A and an ISO type B. We mainly stock ISO type A and B but can supply the DIN spec as well.

Their design is simple: a male end—or plug—is inserted into a female end—or socket—to make a secure, leak-tight seal. They are sometimes called push-to-connect because connecting them requires only a quick push. Flat face couplers are more expensive, but offer a more reliable seal, and is usually used for fuel type liquids. Ball type couplers are standard couplers on trucks, but at Hydraulic online we always try to recommend a PIN type coupler, as we feel it is more reliable than the Ball type, and we believe that it does last longer. Ball type couplers and Pin type couplers cost almost the same.

At Hydraulics online we understand that it can be confusing, and we hope we can maybe shed some light on anything you require information on.
