Core Advantages
High-Purity SS316 Casting: Made via silica-sol investment casting with 2.0%–3.0% Molybdenum content, delivering improved resistance to chloride corrosion and clean internal walls for stable fluid flow.
Standardized Compatibility: Built strictly to A-A-59326A and EN14420-7 dimensions, ensuring direct coupling with standard-compliant fittings already in your inventory or field installations.
Vibration-Resistant Seal: Precision-cast arms apply balanced compression across the gasket, while included stainless safety pins reduce the risk of accidental handle release during pressure spikes.
CNC-Cut Clean Threads: Accurately machined NPT and BSP threads lower thread galling risk during installation and maintain tight, leak-free mechanical connections.
Application Scope
Chemical & Petrochemical Processing
Transport of aggressive acids, solvents, and fuels.
Marine & Offshore
Saltwater and harsh environmental fluid lines.
Industrial Manufacturing
Coolant, water, and pneumatic transfer systems.
Food & Beverage
Clean fluid lines requiring non-reactive materials (with FDA-grade gaskets).
Quality Assurance
Material Composition Testing: Every heat batch undergoes optical emission spectrometer analysis to confirm SS316 chemical compliance, backed by 3.1 Material Test Certificates (MTC) per EN 10204 upon request.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: Finished couplings are batch-tested under hydro-pressure to verify seal integrity and body strength before final packaging.
Visual & Fit Inspections: Manual batch inspection of casting surfaces, handle movement, and pin insertion ensures reliable operational performance out of the box.
Packaging & Logistics
Standard Export Packaging: Protective polybag per fitting, packed into heavy-duty corrugated master cartons, and secured on fumigation-free ISPM-15 wooden pallets.
Custom OEM Labeling: Barcode labeling, custom laser marking on fitting bodies, and private-label packaging available upon request.
Complete Shipping Documentation: Full support with Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin (CO), and Form E / Form F to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
FAQ
Q: Can we customize our brand logo on the couplings?
A: Yes. Body logo customization is supported via customized casting tooling or surface laser marking.
Q: What is your typical quotation response time?
A: Formal wholesale quotes are usually provided within 2 to 4 business hours following initial inquiry review.
Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: Stock items have no MOQ. For production runs, MOQ is adjusted based on specific fitting sizes.
Q: What is the standard production delivery lead time?
A: Standard orders take 30 to 45 days. In-stock items ship within 1 to 2 business days.
Q: Do you provide product samples before bulk orders?
A: Yes. Sample fees are credited toward formal orders, with free sample consideration for verified business inquiries.
Q: What main payment terms do you accept for B2B orders?
A: We accept T/T, L/C at sight, and standard international wire transfer terms based on contract agreement.
Q: Can you produce non-standard coupling dimensions from technical drawings?
A: Yes. Our engineering team builds custom tooling based on your provided CAD drawings or physical samples.
Q: Are handles, rings, and safety pins available separately as spare parts?
A: Yes. All stainless steel arms, pull rings, pins, and replacement gaskets can be ordered individually.
Q: Do you support combined container shipments with different coupling types?
A: Yes. Orders can combine Camlock, Bauer, Guillemin, or other industrial fittings within a single shipment.
