SNAP-TITE SVHC4-4F Coupler Body, 1/4 Inch, 316 Stainless Steel, 5000 PSI

Hydraulic quick couplers provide fluid-tight connection, help in changing machinery & hoses and handle pressure differences in liquid & gas transfer applications. These hydraulic couplings consist of two parts, a plug (nipple or male end) and a socket (coupling body or female end) for quick connection / disconnection of hydraulic lines to any equipment. Hydraulic couplings can have a diverse style of connection styles like push-to-connect, pull-to-connect, threaded connections and universal interchanges.
Snap-Tite offers both nipple and coupling body, constructed of a wide variety of materials like steel, stainless steel and brass. Snap-Tite couplers or coupler bodies are the female ends of the hydraulic couplings. They connect to the nipple or male end of a coupling for a secure, leak free connection.
Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is made of 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability and structural strength. This Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body can handle temperatures ranging from -40 to 200 degrees F. It has female NPSF type fittings and a sleeve lock system for connecting to a hose / nipple. The sleeve lock system in the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body also prevents accidental disconnection of the coupler body from a nipple. Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body features poppet valve design with nitrile / Buna-N seal for shutting off liquid / gas flow when the couplings are disconnected from the hose / machinery.
Raptor Supplies also offers this Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body in variants having FNPT connection, flush face valve, Viton seal and diverse flow rate / temperature / pressure range.

Uses:

Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body attaches to a nipple (male end of a coupling) for forming a hydraulic coupling, connecting to hoses & machinery in oil & gas, agricultural, construction & chemical industries. This Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body provides leak tight connections in hydraulic, coolant, fluid transfer / processing and cleaning lines & equipment.

Working Mechanism:

• After the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is fitted with compatible nipple and hoses, start the system and let the fluid (liquid or gas) flow through the hoses.
• Due to the fluid flow, the poppet valve in the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body opens up, allowing fluid transfer from the hose connected to Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body to the hose connected to the nipple.
• Once the fluid flow from the hose end of the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body stops, the poppet valve acts like a spring and closes back, thereby eliminating any entry of dust or contaminants.

Features:

• Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is the H Series hydraulic coupler having two female end ports with NPSF connections for connecting to compatible hose and nipple.
• Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body, once linked with nipple and hose, forms a hydraulic coupling to allow free flow of fluid.
• The female end ports of the Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body have 1/4 - 18 inch thread size and sleeve lock, respectively, for preventing accidental disconnection of hydraulic lines.
• The Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is equipped with a poppet valve & nitrile / Buna-N seal for preventing entry of contaminants into the hydraulic coupling or hydraulic lines.
• Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is made of 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and preventing bending / breaking under harsh usage in abrasive environments.
• This Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body can handle a maximum flow rate of 14.38 lpm (liter per minute) and a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi at 70 degrees F.
• Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body operates at a temperature ranging from -40 to 200 degrees F.

Compatible Accessories:

• Nipple: Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is attached to a compatible nipple of the same size for forming a complete coupling, allowing free flow of fluids through a hose connection.
• Dust caps & plugs: Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is fitted with a dust cap / plug to prevent damage and entry of dust & contaminants into the coupler body. These dust cups / plugs are available in plastic and clear anodised aluminium variants to provide durability.
• Valve kits: Valve kits contain valve, valve spring and stop for replying old, worn out or faulty valve components of Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body.
• Coupler interface seals: Users can replace the coupler interface seals, including O-ring and backup ring, to provide a leak-tight connection in Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body.

Standards and Approvals:

• Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body is manufactured in accordance with PED 97/23/EC standard for user safety and efficient performance of this hydraulic coupling component.

Installation:

• Clean Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body, the compatible nipple and hose / machinery for preventing any damage & dust / debris.
• Attach Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body and nipple with their hoses on one end.
• Pull back the coupler sleeve of Snap-Tite SVHC4-4F coupler body, insert the nipple and release the sleeve for connecting the nipple with the coupling body.
• Now, the hydraulic coupling is ready for operation.
