FAQs

What material are these couplings made of?

These couplings are made of durable plastic.

What size tubing do these couplings fit?

They are designed specifically for 15mm diameter tubing.

Can these couplings be used for high-pressure applications?

Due to their plastic construction, they are best suited for low to medium pressure applications and may not be suitable for high-pressure systems.

Are these couplings reusable?

Yes, the quick-fit mechanism allows for multiple connections and disconnections.

What is the approximate weight of the pack?

The pack of 5 couplings has an approximate weight of 0.12 kg.

What colors are available?

Troubleshooting

Coupling leaks after connection

Ensure the tube is cut squarely and inserted fully into the coupling. Check for any debris on the tube end or inside the coupling. Verify the tube is the correct 15mm diameter and is not deformed.

Tube is difficult to insert

Confirm you are using a 15mm tube. Slightly chamfering the edge of the tube can help with insertion. Ensure the coupling's internal seal is not obstructed.

Coupling does not release the tube

Press the release collar firmly while pulling the tube. Ensure no debris is jamming the release mechanism. If persistent, the coupling might be damaged and require replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation saves time and labor.
  • Secure and reliable connection for 15mm tubing.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Cost-effective solution for multiple connection points.
  • Durable plastic suitable for many common applications.

Cons

  • Plastic construction limits use in very high-pressure environments.
  • May not withstand extreme temperature ranges.
  • Primarily designed for specific tubing sizes.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring metal fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 15mm tube is cut cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs from the end of the tube.
  2. Push the tube firmly into the coupling's opening until it is fully seated. You should feel or hear a slight click, indicating a secure connection.
  3. To disconnect, press the collar or button around the coupling's opening while simultaneously pulling the tube out.
