Description
High Temperature – Fixed Cavity Type With Threadless Clam-Shell Closure^
Designed for high temperature environmental control and engine bleed air applications. Couplings of CRES material using high temperature seals are suitable for 650F operation.
Locks Automatically
Clam-shell closure locks automatically when two halves are snapped together and cannot disengage accidentally since all three latch pawls must be lifted simultaneously to disengage the latch.
Quick Disconnect
Quick disconnect action of the latch simplifies and facilitates assembly and removal by one hand.
Easily Inspected
Visual inspection from a distance provides positive indication that the closure is fully engaged and securely locked.
Flexible
Axial adjustment is 1/4″ nominal; angular misalignment is 4 for full coupling.
Lightning Protection
Protection is provided to at least 1500 amperes when tested in accordance with MIL-STD-1757 test method T03 using current component B waveshape.
Self Bonding
Electrical bonding to class “S” of MIL-B-5087B is automatically provided when the coupling is assembled.
Hydraflow Fluid Couplings for aircraft are available in threaded or “clam-shell” styles depending on the application. Clamshell couplings have the advantage of quick installation and a visible locking flag. Both types can be used as connections in aircraft fuel, potable water, oxygen and environmental control systems. Leading aircraft manufacturers around the world rely on the high integrity of these couplings.
