Codes
The following seal compound and body material compatibility
chart is provided as an aid in selecting a specific synthetic
rubber compound or body material for a particular application.
Operating and environmental conditions must be considered
when making the selection of a quick coupling.
Refer to the appropriate section of the catalog for Ordering
Information for Seal Codes for specific products.
To indicate a special material just add the appropriate code
letter as a suffix to the catalog number of the coupler.
It is
not necessary to use the code
“STD”
as the standard Nitrile
seal will be used when another code is not used.
For recommendations for media not listed below, please
contact your Parker representative or the factory.
Note
This chart is intended as a guide only and is not be
considered as a recommendation to use Parker quick action
couplings in a specific application or with a specific fluid, other
factors that must be considered include but are not limited to:
fluid and ambient temperature, system pressure, both
operating and peak, frequency of connect and disconnect,
and applicable standards or regulations.
