Wingstyle Couplings are designed for max connectivity.

Press Release Summary:




W-Series features elastomeric marker that remains visible and identifiable, even in dirty environments and operating conditions. It allows operator to ensure that coupling is fully connected, and seals threaded portion of coupling when it is connected to avoid thread seizure. Interchangeable with other coupling models, series is designed to optimize hydraulic system performance while minimizing pump damage and overheating of hydraulic circuits.

Wingstyle Couplings From Perfecting Coupling Are Specially Designed For Better Connectivity



Charlotte, N.C., November 10, 2004 - W-Series wingstyle interchange couplings from Perfecting Coupling are specially designed to optimize hydraulic system performance while minimizing pump damage and overheating of hydraulic circuits - all symptoms of insufficient coupling engagement. These couplings are particularly well-suited for mobile applications such as sump trailers and walking-floor trailers.

Perfecting's W-Series couplings are designed with a strategically positioned elastomeric marker that remains visible and easy to identify - even in "dirty" environments and operating conditions - thereby allowing the operator to ensure that the coupling is fully connected. The elastomeric marker also seals the threaded portion of the coupling while it is connected, thus avoiding any incident of thread seizure.

According to Jeff Wilson, product manager, Perfecting's W-Series couplings perform much better than conventionally designed alternatives. "Most wingstyle coupling designs rely on a shallow machine groove to indicate the point at which the coupler is fully connected. Over time, this groove becomes more difficult to see because of dirt build-up or handling damage, so it becomes increasingly likely for an operator to fail to fully engage the valving when connecting the couplings," he said.

"Another challenge with conventional couplings is that they're susceptible to thread seizure while in their connected state. That's a problem particularly in colder climates," Wilson added.

Perfecting's W-Series wingstyle couplings are fully interchangeable with other coupling models, including Aeroquip 5100 Series, Parker 6100 Series, and Snap-Tite 78 Series couplings.
