ISO 16028
Connect Under Pressure
Stucchi USA, APM Series Flat Face;

Interchange:

• ISO 16028 Flat face A series couplings are in accordance with ISO 16028.
• The interchangeability of size 10 is also in accordance with NFPA T3.20.15 (HTMA).

Features:

• Connects with any ISO 16028 coupler
• APM Series Male coupling is the Stucchi solution to the problem of the connection in the presence of high internal residual pressure.
• Patented double internal security valve system in the male part allows the APM series to solve the problem of manual connections in the presence of high residual pressure.
• Zinc plated hardened steel
• Seals: Nitrile/Teflon standard NPT-SAE standard ports, others per request
• Connect up to 30 MPa/4350 psi residual pressure

Connect Under Pressure Overview:

• Will connect by hand with residual pressure up to 30 MPa/4350 psi locked in the hydraulic circuit.
• Will connect with residual pressure without releasing any fluid into the environment.
• The mating circuit will need to be without residual pressure.

Applications:

• Mobile equipment attachment tools where exposure to the sun or temperature change causes pressure to develop due to thermal expansion of trapped fluid.
• Any application where static pressure can get locked into the system.

Advantages:

• Connects under high pressure by hand
• No air inclusion during connection
• Bi-directional Flow
• Elimination of fluid loss during connection or Disconnection
• Easily cleaned before connection
• To connect, wipe the mating surfaces clean, align the coupling and nipple, push together.
• To Disconnect, Pull back the sleeve on the female and the coupler.
