1 Quick Couplings and Air line Productsby Quick Couplings GENERAL INFORMATION1 Foster Manufacturing Company, Inc. (417) 881-6600 To SelectProper coupler selection is important because of the variety of media for which they are basic factors should be considered to assure proper selection:Type Operation Flow Media TypeAll couplers consist of two basic components a socket and a type of coupler varies by the valving arrangements in these two refers to the action required to connect and disconnect a is a function of sockets only and does not vary for sockets require manualretraction of the sleeve to both connect and disconnectthe sockets accept theplug by simple insertion into thesocket and do not require retrac-tion of the sleeve to CouplerSafety sockets are a variation ofautomatic operation.

2 The socketaccepts the plug by insertion. Thesleeve is moved straight forward tolock and turn on the air. The sleeveis moved back by rotating first tothe left and then to the off the supply line ,exhauststhe downstream line , and thenreleases the a One Way Shut-Off, only the sock-et has valving to shut off the flowwhen disconnected; it is, therefore,installed on the pressure side of theline. The plug has no valving andexhausts the downstream line at Way Shut-OffThe Two Way Shut-Off provides valving in both the socket and theplug, thereby shutting off flow at bothof the disconnected ends. Originallydeveloped for hydraulic lines, they aresuitable for many other mediabecause of the variety of metals andseal compounds Straight-Thru couplers, as thename implies, do not have valvingin either the socket or the , both ends of the line areexhausted at Way Shut-OffNOTE: The One Way Shut-Off is the only type offered by contact Foster Manufacturing for alternate types.

3 Quick Couplings GENERAL INFORMATION2 Foster Manufacturing Company, Inc. (417) 881-6600 OF CONTENTSM ediaThe media flowing through the coupler will usually determine the type. Compressed air, many other gasses,and some liquids can be handled by One Way Shut-Off couplers. Hydraulic fluids as well as many other liquidsand some gasses require Two Way most important factor in properly sizing couplers is flow. Flow data is given throughout the catalog for industrial interchange design couplers. Most One Way Shut-Off non-standard couplers have the same flow asthe same basic size industrial interchange design.
