Holmbury / APM Series Male Couplings
Description:
Male Couplings for connection under pressure
Coupling Category
Flat Face Couplings
Manufacturer
Holmbury
Mobile plant and attachments where exposure to the sun causes pressure to
develop due to thermal expansion of trapped fluid. Any plant, mobile or
industrial, where static pressure can get locked into the system.
INTRODUCTION
Holmbury APM Series Male Couplings will connect, by hand, with pressures up to 350 bar locked in the male half, without releasing any fluid to the environment. The hose line to the female will need to be at zero pressure.
CONNECTION
Conforms to ISO 16028 connection sizes.
Examples:
APM 9 connects with an FA9 Premier Plus female.
APM 17 connects with a F FIRG Premier Range.
FEMALE COUPLINGS
APM Series Male Couplings are designed for connection to Holmbury Premier Plus A Series and Premier FIRG Series female couplings.
CAUTION: do not assume that APM Series Male Couplings will connect satisfactorily with female couplings from other manufacturers.
ADVANTAGES
SPECIFICATION
MATERIALS
Yellow and black zinc plated steel, PTFE and nitrile seals.

ADVANTAGES
- Connects under high pressure, by hand.
- Flat faces can easily be wiped clean before connection to prevent the ingress of contaminants into the circuit.
- No air intrusion during connection.
- Clean disconnection - non-spill design.
- Locking sleeve helps prevent accidental disconnection.
- Coupling can rotate whilst connected.
- Bi-directional flow
SPECIFICATION
- Operating temperature range: -20°C to +100°C.
- Fluid loss during disconnection: 0 to 0.02ml.
- Maximum pressure for connection by hand: 350 bar in male, zero pressure in female.
MATERIALS
Yellow and black zinc plated steel, PTFE and nitrile seals.
