Stucchi VEP Series
Flat Face Proprietary Design
NPT & SAE Threads

VEP Interchanges:

• Stucchi internal Standards. Additionally Interchanges with Stucchi VEP HD

Product Catagory Overview:

• Stucchi VEP series is the
  ultimate solution and most
  popular for hydraulic circuit
  applications subject to high
  pressure impulses, and circuits
  which experience high residual
  or trapped pressure in a line.

• The VEP thread-to-connect
  design eliminates premature
  wear or brinelling associated with
  locking ball designs subjected
  to high impulse pressures.

• The patented internal valve allows
  connection and disconnection
  with high residual pressures.

• Flat face design avoids loss of
  hydraulic fluid during connection/
  disconnection.

• Flat face design
  is easy to clean, limiting
  contamination into the circuit.

Applications & Features

• Excavators w/auxiliary line for attachments:
  • thumbs,
  • grapples,
  • hammers, and
  • compactors/hopaks

• Oil Field, well head drives,
  porta-power

• Cranes, drilling machines,
  all large equipment needing
  junction points in circuit

• All construction equipment
• applications with higher
  pressure requirements
  or issues of connecting/
  disconnecting tool
  attachments under
  residual pressure

• Eliminates brinelling,
  reduces leakage

• Save time changing tools

Technical Information
