Used for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals and liquid petroleum gas up to 1 in ID, Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic or semi-metallic hose
  • The spud part of the coupling serves as one half of the boss ground joint connection and is usually fixed to the equipment
  • The stem part that is clamped to the hose is the other half
  • The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud, when connected they achieve both a mechanical and a pressure seal
  • Positive metal-to-polymer seal
  • Leakproof seal forms when the metal head of the stem makes contact with the patented polymer seat in the spud
  • The non-metallic polymer seat resists most chemicals found in manufacturing facilities, reference the corrosion resistance chart for additional information
  • Boss couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet
  • Easy to seal
  • Boss couplings are all-purpose hose couplings, universally recommended for steam hose connections, they are also widely used for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals and liquid petroleum gas up to 1 in ID
  • Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic or semi-metallic hose
  • Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous
  • They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary
  • Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated
  • Note: pressurized steam is an extremely dangerous commodity
