High-pressure couplings
RoFLEX 5000 series hydraulic screw couplings
suit severe shear and breaker applications. They
are connectable and disconnectable under
pressure without need for bleeding and refilling
hydraulic lines. Screw thread connections
eliminate brinelling and seals are readily
accessible for easy replacement. They come with
caps and plugs to protect threads and help
prevent the ingress of contaminants.
