Air/water couplers give impressive performance

Designed for general purpose air and water applications, lightweight and compact couplers have impressive performance, due to a novel connecting method, via a robust resin sleeve lock.
Designed for general purpose air and water applications, (connection of air tools, including air and spray guns, impact wrenches and air drivers), the new series of S couplers (designated KK, KKH, KKA and KK13), although lightweight and compact, have impressive performance, due to a unique connecting method, via a robust resin sleeve lock, which prevents accidental opening during use. These couplers are easy to use, have low leakage, and are available in male, female, and one-touch thread options, including straight, elbow, and bulkhead types. The socket (KKH) includes additional benefits, such as high impact resistant resin and rubber cover, which absorbs impact energy (of up to 90.5J) when dropped.

These are available with threaded male, female, and nut fitting options.

In addition, a lubricant free, stainless steel (SUS304) coupler (KKA) with or without check valve (in either plug or socket end), is included within this range, and is ideal for applications using cooling water up to 100degC as required in, for example, semiconductor, food and chemical industries.

The range is completed by the inclusion of an 'O' ring constructed plug and socket (KK13), reducing air loss and giving high durability.
