Overview
Stucchi VEP HD Series is the ultimate solution and most popular to hydraulic circuit applications subject to high pressure impulses, and circuits which experience high residual or trapped pressure in a line. The VEP HD thread-to-connect design eliminates premature wear or brinelling associated with locking ball designs subjected to high impulse pressures. New HD version has upgraded material, yellow o-ring visual ID, and larger mating areas. The patented internal valve allows connection and disconnection with high residual pressures. Flat face design avoids loss of hydraulic fluid during connection/ disconnection. Flat face design is easy to clean, limiting contamination into the circuit.

Application & Features
- Higher grade of steel for longer life, yellow o-ring visual ID, and larger mating areas
- Excavators w/auxiliary line for attachments: thumbs, grapples, hammers, and compactors/hopaks
- High impluse mobile circuits
- All construction equipment applications with higher pressure requirements or issues of connecting/ disconnecting tool attachments under residual pressure
- Connect/disconnect up to 25 MPa/3625 psi residual pressure
- Save time changing tools
