Diagnostic Products Test Port Couplings

Couplings PD Series

PD Series couplings pro­vide easy connection for mechani­cal

gauges or specialized diagnostic equipment like Sen­so­Con­trol®.
A Pneumatics

Typically, PD or BPD nipples are per­ma­nent­ly mounted in

the sys­tem at threaded test ports, in rigid tubing or in hose
assemblies. PD couplers are attached to test instruments.
Couplers align to the mating nipples without thread­ing. This
allows gauges, transducers and other test equip­ment to be
snapped into place without dif­fi­culty.
Note: Protective dust caps play a crucial role in the life of
a quick coupling and no purchase is complete without the

selection of an appropriate dust cap.

Features
•  Flush-face poppet valves mini­mize air inclusion and spillage,
provide easy-to-clean surfaces, and help to prevent cont­
amination.
•  Grip-tight knurled sleeves help to make connecting and dis­

Coupling / Nipple Material •  Nipples are machined from high tensile steel for strength
to with­stand 6000 PSI continuous op­er­at­ing pressure. BPD
- Prefix “B” for Brass Body with Fluorocarbon seal nipples offer features similar to the standard steel PD nipples
- Prefix “SS” for Stainless Steel Body with Fluorocarbon seal with the added feature of a brass body.
- Standard body material is Steel with Nitrile seal •  PD nipples are de­signed to meet or exceed SAE J1502 and ISO
15171-1 design and per­for­mance spec­i­fi­ca­tions.
•  End connections include pipe, O-ring, metric thread,
bulkhead, 37° Flare, ORFS and bite-type.
