Overview
Stucchi VEP series is the
ultimate solution and most
popular for hydraulic circuit
applications subject to high
pressure impulses, and circuits
which experience high residual
or trapped pressure in a line.
The VEP thread-to-connect
design eliminates premature
wear or brinelling associated with
locking ball designs subjected
to high impulse pressures. 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 easly to clean, limiting
contamination into the circuit.
Applications & Features
- Excavators w/auxiliary
line for attachments:
thumbs, grapples,
hammers, and
compactors/hopaks
- Oil Field, well head drives,
porta-power
- Cranes, drilling machines,
all large equipment needing
junction points in circuit
- All construction equipment
applications with higher
pressure requirements
or issues of connecting/
disconnecting tool
attachments under
residual pressure
- Eliminates brinelling,
reduces leakage
- Save time changing tools
