Stucchi introduces new multi-coupling plate technology
Stucchi Inc. recently introduced a new multi-coupling plate technology, the BM3 multi-coupling plate which is designed to allow operators to simultaneously connect and disconnect large diameter (1 1/2-in.) lines that contain residual pressure. This reduces operator error and improves KPIs (key performance indicators), saving companies time and money in the field. According to Scott Rolston, […]
How can quick couplings improve hose safety?
Hydraulic and pneumatic hose safety can be ensured by using quick-connect fittings or quick couplings that make a repeated connection and disconnection between fluid lines and the equipment they are attached to. Quick couplings are used in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications, and are designed for easy hand operation. These safety devices feature a male […]
