Spectrum™ Series

Applications

Parker’s Spectrum™ Series couplers are the most advanced

engineered thermoplastic couplings available. Spectrum

Series couplings combine compact size, high flow capability,

and light weight design to meet a broad range of coupling

applications. Three material combinations allow the couplings

to be used in markets as diverse as chemical processing,

automation equipment, semi-conductor and food processing.

Spectrum Series can be used in many applications previously

reserved for stainless steel couplings.
