Operating principle
- Metal-touch valves use no rubber seal, and thus ensure excellent durability.
- Both socket and plug have metal touch automatic shut-off valves that prevent fluid spill out on disconnection.
- High pressure CUPLA for working pressures up to 68.6 MPa.
- For hydraulic pressure up to 68.6 MPa {700 kgf/cm2}.

| 700R CUPLA | 686 bar | Thread 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch | Two-way shut-off | Hydraulic oil |
Choose 700R CUPLA when the hydraulic line works above the pressure range of the sibling series: the highest rated peer here, 450B CUPLA, stops at 44.1 MPa {450 kgf/cm2}, while 700R CUPLA is rated up to 68.6 MPa {700 kgf/cm2}. All series in this group are two-way shut-off, so the pressure class and the available sizes 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch decide the choice. Where impulse pressure occurs in the line, 700R CUPLA must not be used.

Safety and application notes
- Do not use in an environment where there is impulse pressure.
- Before use, please be sure to read "Safety Guide" described at the end of this book and "Instruction Sheet" that comes with the products.
