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
  • 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.
