Quick connectors deliver fast, non-marring leak-free connections

February 11, 2021 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Fastest FE with ICON quick connector

The FE/FI series quick connectors deliver fast, non-marring, leak free quick connections. The quick connectors seal externally “FE” or internally “FI” and the uniform seal movement makes a leak tight, quick connection, even over threaded, rough or oily surfaces. The connectors will automatically verify all connection tools are properly sealed prior to starting a test. […]

Safeway-custom-quick-disconnect-oil-change-adapter-Illustrations

Non-standard QDs often lead to better system design and, surprisingly, lower overall costs. Contributed by Joe Engel and Nick Goenner, Specialty Manufacturing Co. Most quick-disconnect coupling manufacturers focus on offering standard products in dozens, if not hundreds of different sizes and types. Many times, off-the-shelf QDs work fine for a given task. They meet the […]
