This XHP-style quick coupler
plug is designed for use with machines that have pressures
of 5000 PSI. The ball groove has
a radius instead of an angle. The radius mates with balls
in the matching XHP coupler socket. The balls in the XHP
coupler
socket are larger in diameter than the balls used in the
industry standard coupler socket. This larger ball seating
in the mating
radius resists peening of the plug. This peening occurs when
the gun trigger is pulled and the pressure forces the plug
against the coupler balls. This peening is what destroys
the coupler plug. This plug is of the highest quality made,
being
machined from 316 stainless steel and is highly corrosive
resistant. This plug will not fit any socket except the XHP.
These coupler
sockets and plugs were installed onto 5000 PSI hoses. The
reason being so that hoses of lower pressure ratings could
not accidentally
be coupled to a 5000 PSI machine. The plug can be identified
by a V groove cut into the hex portion of the plug & socket. |
