Nitto's FULL BLOW CUPLA features a total-open gate type valve mechanism that realizes low pressure loss and high flow rate, which lessens the needed source air volume. Whenever the connection and disconnection are being done, the valve is closed to let the process be below the zero line pressure and when the sleeve of socket gets back to its initial set up, the residual air pressure are discharged by the purge mechanism, removing an unpleasant noise and a hose whip back motion during disconnection. Meanwhile, the built-in sleeve lock mechanism avoids unexpected disconnection guaranteeing a safe operation. This version of cupla is lighter than the traditional ones.
Unique full-open gate type valve mechanism realizes low pressure loss and high flow rate, which reduces required source air volume.
• The flow rate is increased by up to 40% more than that of conventional Cuplas.
• During connection and disconnection, the valve is closed, enabling connection/disconnection under zero line pressure.
• When the sleeve of socket is returned to its original position, the purge mechanism releases the residual air pressure in the plug, eliminating an unpleasant popping noise and a hose whip back motion on disconnection.
• Built-in sleeve lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnection of Cuplas, assuring safe operation.
• The valve can be opened and closed while the socket and plug is connected.
• The weight is reduced by 30 to 45% compared with that of conventional Cuplas.
