APM BSP Thread {Nipple}

Male coupling APM series is the Stucchi solution to the problem of the connection in the presence of high internal residual pressure. Patented double internal security valve system in the male part allows the APM series to solve the problem of manual connections in the presence of high residual pressure. The APM series nipples are in accordance with ISO 16028.

- Zinc plated hardened steel
- Seals: Nitrile/Teflon standard
- NPT-SAE standard ports, others per request
- Connect with ISO 16028 coupler
- Connect up to 30 MPa/4350 psi residual pressure

Overview
Stucchi APM series male couplings will connect by hand with residual pressure up to 30 MPa/4350 psi locked in the hydraulic circuit. It will connect with residual pressure without releasing any fluid into the environment. The mating circuit will need to be without residual pressure.

Applications
Mobile equipment & attachment tools where exposure to the sun or temperature change causes pressure to develop due to thermal expansion of trapped fluid. Any application where static pressure can get locked into the system.

Advantages - Connects under high pressure by hand
- No air inclusion during connection
- Bi-directional Flow
- Elimination of fluid loss during connection or disconnection
- Easily cleaned before connection
- Interchangeable with ISO 16028

Operation
To connect, wipe the mating surfaces clean, align the coupling and nipple, push together. To disconnect, pull back the sleeve on the female and the coupler’s release.
