Eaton FD96 — High-Pressure Thread-to-Connect Flush Face Hydraulic Coupler

The Eaton FD96 — High-Pressure Thread-to-Connect Flush Face Hydraulic Coupler is a hydraulic quick-disconnect coupling from Eaton's Aeroquip range. High-pressure thread-to-connect flush-face coupler — working pressures to 8,500 psi with connect-under-pressure capability to 4,300 psi. The premium high-impulse Eaton hydraulic coupler.

Working pressure to 600 bar (8702 psi) at the smallest body size, with minimum burst pressure of 1500 bar. Thread-to-Connect connection — flush face (no-spill) variant.

Construction & features

• Connection method: Thread-to-Connect
• Valving: Flush Face (No-Spill)
• Flush-face / no-spill design — minimal fluid loss and air inclusion at disconnect
• Connect-under-pressure capability — couplings can be mated against trapped residual pressure
• Working pressure to 8,500 psi (600 bar)
• Connect-under-pressure capability to 4,300 psi (300 bar)
• Thread-together design — high-impulse durability
• Dual flush-face valving with non-spill design
• Low connection force despite high pressure rating
• Carbon steel with zinc trivalent + black oxide plating for severe service
• Interchanges with: Parker FEM-HP, Stucchi APM-HP, Faster CVE-HP
