Non-Spill Couplings Hydraulic Quick Couplings

FS Series

Features
Simple to operate: Push to connect, pull on knurled sleeve to disconnect. Flush face valves exhibit minimal spillage upon disconnect and minimal air inclusion upon connect. Superior locking ball design a large number of locking balls distribute the workload better and allow for some rotation between the male and female halves of the coupling under pressure. Excellent flow vs pressure drop characteristics when compared with other low spill quick couplings. Material construction is 316 stainless steel with fluorocarbon (Viton) seals as standard. Wide range of seal materials available. Repair kits available to replace critical elastomer seals (all sizes). Coupling sealing integrity is approximately 1 x 10-6 std. c2/sec. Helium under 50 millitorr of vacuum.

Applications Parker FS Series couplings virtually eliminate fluid loss upon disconnection, and minimize air inclusion during connections. They are ideal for use where spillage may cause undesireable conditions or constitute a safety hazard. The FS Series couplings have double shut-off flush mating valves that are suitable for sealing off media in chemical processing, chemical dispensing, food processing, and other corrosive applications. Working pressures to 2000 psi. Note: Protective dust plugs and caps play a crucial role in the life of a quick coupling and no purchase of a hydraulic quick coupling is complete without the selection of an appropriate dust plug and cap. See pages noted in Table of Contents for dust plugs and caps for the Parker full line of hydraulic couplings.

Ordering Information Hydraulic Quick Couplings

When ordering Parker coupler bodies and nipples, please state the part number of each type of coupler body and each type of nipple desired. List coupler bodies and nipples as separate items rather than in combinations. Be sure to double check thread or hose sizes of items required. Many of Parkers coupling products are available with unique non-standard options well suited to very specific applications. Examples of unusual end use applications might include: high temperatures (above 250 F), extremely caustic/corrosive solutions passing through the coupling, external/environmental corrosion situations, or other high wear and tear situations such as dragging the product along the ground. Please see the Fluid Compatibility Chart at the end of the catalog for a guide in selecting material for various media. It is always recommended that the Quick Coupling Division be contacted with any questions concerning specific product application needs. Typically, a prefix or suffix is added to the base part number to specify a non-standard O-ring seal, or special option such as a sleeve lock. The Optional Seals Suffix chart illustrates the designations. Please Note: Certain couplings series have additional "Special Order Information" which should be referred to in ordering those products. If applicable to the product, "Special Order Information" is found next to the Features and Specifications charts. Coupling Material Prefix B for Brass Operation Prefix HD for heavy duty nipple Suffix SL for coupler sleeve-lok Suffix P for poppet valve Suffix BP for Push-lok hose barb Suffix VA for Valve Actuator

Optional Seals Suffix* No suffix is required when ordering products with the standard Buna-N (Nitrile) seals. When specifying an optional seal, refer to the following chart to determine the appropriate suffix.** Coupling Series 60 Series 6600 Series SM Series HP Series 4000 Series 4200 Series NS Series NC Series FF Series
