Quick connect coupling Plastic Cupla BC Type BC-02SH, plastic - Nitto Kohki LA95844

Where weight and corrosion matter, a metal body gets in the way. The Nitto Kohki Plastic Cupla BC Type has a plastic body and comes as a plug or as a socket with a hose barb.

• Plastic body, which keeps the coupling light and free of corrosion
• NBR as the sealing material on every model in the range
• Hose barb end marked H, the hose is pushed on directly
• Two sizes in the BC model range, each available as a plug marked P and as a socket marked S

Models in this series PLASTIC CUPLA BC Type Valveless

Every model of the series as printed in the manufacturer catalogue. The row of the article offered here is highlighted.

Operating principle

• To connect, just push the plug into the socket.
• Plastic makes this ideal for use in environment prone to rusting.
• Compact and light weight for easy handling.
• Valveless construction gives more stable flow.

Series comparison

PLASTIC CUPLA BC Type applies only to air lines up to 0.07 MPa {0.7 kgf/cm2}; every sibling series in this category is rated 1.0 to 1.5 MPa {10 to 15 kgf/cm2} and is required above that limit. It is the choice where an all-plastic coupling is wanted in an environment prone to rusting and where a straight through, valveless flow path is acceptable. If the line has to close on disconnection, use a one-way shut-off series such as HI CUPLA BL, NUT CUPLA or LOCK CUPLA 200, or COMPACT ZEROSPILL CUPLA with its two-way shut-off.
