High quality flexible hoses and metal components designed to deliver safety, durability and long-term reliability.

Quick Coupling / Quick Coupling Part C

     

Primary Application

  • Industrial Hose Assemblies: Built specifically as an end fitting for flexible rubber, composite, and PVC suction and delivery hoses.

  • Bulk Chemical Transport: Used extensively on tank trucks, rail cars, and bulk liquid chemical delivery systems.

  • Refineries & Processing Plants: Ideal for mobile fluid transfer, temporary line bypasses, and wastewater treatment pumping setups.

Structure & Specifications

  • Coupler Type: Part C (Female Coupler with Hose Shank)

  • Body Material Options: Available in three distinct materials to meet process chemistry demands:

    • Stainless Steel: Maximum physical durability and chemical resistance for acids, caustics, and aggressive solvents.

    • Aluminum: Lightweight and highly economical; ideal for fuels, lubricants, water, and non-corrosive liquids.

    • Polypropylene: Corrosion-free and cost-effective; optimized for agricultural chemicals, liquid fertilizers, and mild acids.

  • Locking Arms: Patented Twin-Kam™ arms (Features a unique dual-cam design that provides a secondary detent lock to prevent detaching if the arms are bumped or pulled).

  • Pull Mechanism: Spring-Ring™ finger rings (Designed to stay low-profile and open automatically for quick gloved-finger access, eliminating ring distortion).

  • Thread Standard: N/A (Direct barbs for hose connection).

  • Standard Gasket: Buna-N (Premium fuel and oil-resistant elastomeric compound; alternative materials available for aggressive chemical applications).

  • Size Range: 1″ to 4″

  • Brand: OPW (United States)

Key Features & Benefits

  • Twin-Kam™ Arm Safety: Unlike standard camlocks, the Twin-Kam™ design incorporates a patented profile that prevents the coupler from fully opening under accidental external forces, locking the fitting securely in place.

  • Spring-Ring™ System: Specially engineered finger rings won’t get trapped under the cam arms, ensuring rapid, hassle-free disconnection even when operators are wearing heavy safety gloves.

  • Multi-Barb Hose Shank: Precision-contoured hose tail provides exceptional grip inside the hose core, distributing clamping pressure evenly to eliminate high-pressure blow-offs.

  • Mil-Spec Interchangeability: Fully compliant with A-A-59326 (superseding MIL-C-27487) structural dimensions, ensuring standard compatibility with any compliant male adaptor worldwide.
