Ball & Socket Couplings
Ball & Socket Couplings are fast effective means of coupling pipe, hoses, and fittings in for a wide range of applications. In today's competitive agricultural and industrial market, high performance pumps demand high performance couplings. The high degree of rotation couplings allows non-perfect alignment of pipe and hose. They are not affected by dirt, mud, as are cam-loc, threaded, or bolt-on couplings. The couplings are fully contained and therefore no clamps or other clamping devices that could get lost. For added locking assurance, a security lock composed of a small hole on the coupling's hooks and a pin acting as a block to avoid accidental opening of the coupling is available on the "D" and "B" series. Ball & Socket Couplings are available in the popular Bauer style or the Italian 100/200 Series style.
