Please thoroughly read the instructions prior to operating the connector. The connectors are
designed to provide a safe, reliable leak-tight seal and connection when properly maintained and operated.
• The connector is designed to mate with a specific application. Verify the application prior to the
introduction of pressure or processing. Use only in a safe environment. Safety chains and guards are
recommended for all applications.
• Connectors are NOT designed for permanent connections and are for temporary connections only.
Inadvertent loosening and loss of media may result when used as a permanent connection.
• Connectors are not internally valved and will not prevent loss of media when disconnected.
DO NOT EXCEED pressure rating as marked on connector or corresponding literature. Operating pressure
rating based on tests using NPTF threads (to SAE J476a Dryseal specifications) of cold drawn steel. Material
or thread deviations may reduce working pressure and should be verified by test.
