A quick connect fitting, also called a quick disconnect or quick release coupling, is a coupling used to provide a fast, make-or-break connection of fluid transfer lines. Operated by hand, quick connect fittings replace threaded or flanged connections, which require wrenches. When equipped with self-sealing valves, quick connect fittings will, upon disconnection, automatically contain any fluid in the line.
Stainless Steel Swagelock Fittings
(0 Customer reviews)Compression fittings are used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. Compression fittings for attaching tubing (piping) commonly have ferrules.
Compression fittings are popular because they do not require soldering, so they are comparatively quick and easy to use. They require no special tools or skills to operate. They work at higher pressures and with toxic gases. Compression fittings are especially useful in installations that may require occasional disassembly or partial removal for maintenance etc.

Oil Seal, Mechanical Seal, O Ring
( Customer review)
A mechanical seal or “O” ring is a device that helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets.A stationary seal may also be referred to as 'packing'.
MS-SS Siphone Tube
( Customer review)
Siphon tubes are a basic implement used in irrigation to transfer water over a barrier, using the siphon principle. At the simplest they consist of a pipe with no working parts. To work they rely on the water level in the canal being at a higher level than the water level in the field being irrigated.
Pressure Gauge
( Customer review)
Pressure measurement is the analysis of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area. Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure and display pressure in an integral unit are called pressure meters or pressure gauges or vacuum gauges. A manometer is a good example, as it uses the surface area and weight of a column of liquid to both measure and indicates pressure.
