8540 Series  - Connect Under Pressure

Coupler Body - Push to Connect

Pioneer’s 8450 Series unique valve design allows connection while either or both the coupler and nipple are under pressure. Valves in both halves remain closed, opening only when system pressure has been relieved on the female body and then reapplied. This pressure sequence may be done with either an open center or a closed center hydraulic system that has a control valve. The enclosed outer housing allows all connecting motion to be internal thereby preventing dust and dirt build-up around the sleeve mechanism.

Suitable for rigid mount or use with a breakaway clamp.
