The coupler has a large plated steel sleeve especially designed for easier gripping with gloves. Two ethylene propylene O-rings
in the coupler and one ethylene propylene O-ring in the plug provide double protection against leaks. Rated to 100 PSI gauge
saturated steam (338°F).

Boss Coupling System
Features: The spud part of the coupling serves as one half
of the 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
onto the spud. When connected they achieve a mechanical,
as well as, a pressure seal.
Services: 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" ID. Boss couplings can be
applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic
or semi-metallic hose. Consult the factory for specific media
capabilities.
Purpose: Boss couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting
to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a male or
female threaded (NPT) outlet.
Material:
• stem: ¼" - 1" plated steel, 1¼" - 4" plated iron, 6" tubular
steel
• spud: ¼" - 1" plated steel, 1¼" - 6" plated iron
• wing nut: ¼" - 1" plated steel, 1¼" - 6" plated iron
Seal Types:
• ground joint: copper or polymer seats
• washer: Klingersil® C-4401
Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous. They should be
checked regularly and replaced when necessary. Each coupling
user should review applications and add safety devices where
indicated.
