GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTION AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS
The incorrect use of products can cause malfunctioning and safety risks.
Therefore, before using Stucchi products, we strongly recommend reading and following the “general instructions for selection
and use of the products” and the “instructions of use” of the specified product intending to use.
ATTENTION!!!
A defect, a wrong choice or an improper use of products, can cause damage to persons, animals
and objects.
It is MOST IMPORTANT to read and closely follow the instructions written below before selecting
or using Stucchi products.
1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Context
These safety instructions form a supplement and shall be used as one document together with the technical documentation
related to the specified product to be installed.
1.2 Safeguarding
It is recommended that all systems and equipment be protected so that safety of people, animals and objects will be
guaranteed in case of defect of the product.
1.3 Distribution of the instruction
A copy of these instructions has to be supplied to every person responsible for the selection and/or usage of the products.
1.4 Responsibility of the user
Due to the most various range of operating use and conditions of the products, Stucchi does not guarantee that every product
can be used for every application.
These safety instructions don’t analyse all technical parameters that have to be considered by selecting the products.
The end user, through their own analyses and tests, is responsible for the following:
- Final selection of the product
- Ascertainment that the requirements of the end user are satisfied and that the predicted use does not present a safety risk.
- Supply of all warnings regarding the safety of the equipment on which Stucchi products will be used.
2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTION OF THE PRODUCT.
2.1 Application fields
Check that the product is suitable for the specific application.
In case of doubt, contact the Stucchi customer service.
2.2 Type of product
Select the type of product most suitable for the working environment.
Flat face couplings: suitable for working environments where it is necessary to reduce to minimum the fluid loss during
disconnection and to avoid dirt inclusion during connection.
Screw couplings: they are suitable for high working pressure and frequent impulses; they are connectable with high residual
pressure.
Poppet valve couplings: widely used in the agricultural field.
2.3 Materials and treatments
Make sure that the materials and treatments of the product conform to the exposed working environment.
2.4 Dimensions
Choose the product with dimensions and flow suited to the circuit in order to avoid over stress damaging the product.
2.5 Flow inversion
For application with flow inversion during operation, use only products designed for that scope.
Flow inversion during operation generates turbulences inside the product that can cause damage on the components.
2.6 Thread
Choose the product with thread suitable for the application.
For high pressure conditions, over 50 MPa, products with taper thread NPT are recommended.
2.7 Type of medium
Verify that the seals of the product are compatible with the medium used.
Make sure that other not compatible fluids do not come in contact with the seals in case of maintenance.
Do not use the products with inflammable, explosive or dangerous fluids without approval of Stucchi S.p.A.
2.8 Medium temperature
Verify that the working temperature is within the functional limits of the coupling and its seals.
The couplings must not be connected and disconnected with a temperature higher than 80 degrees Celsius.
In case of connection-disconnection with temperature higher than 30 Celsius degrees, the operator must be protected using
gloves and/or other devices to prevent any leakage or splashing causing injury to himself, persons, animals and objects.
2.9 Environment temperature
With extreme temperature conditions, the mechanical resistance of the products changes. The use and handling of couplings in
case of ice can be difficult due to ice inclusion in the blocking mechanisms.
Use protective gloves in applications with hot and cold operating temperature.
2.10 Pressure
Verify always if the maximum working pressure of the product is the same or higher than the pressure peaks of the application.
Do not make confusion between the burst pressure and the maximum working pressure, so do not use the value of the burst
pressure for your selection.
A CONSTANT FLOW OF SOLUTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTION AND USE OF THE PRODUCTS
Check that the number of impulse cycles which the product has been tested is compatible with the impulse number of the
application.
2.11 Residual pressure
For connection and disconnection with residual pressure use only couplings that are developed for this scope.
The term ‘internal residual pressure’ means: the static pressure retained in the system, which has not be generated by a working
pump or other accessories in movement.
The structure of the machine or plant in which these products are placed, must be suitable to limit accidental splashing and
fluid losses caused by wrong usage or malfunctioning of the product, in order to avoid direct and indirect damage on persons,
animals or objects. The temperature of the fluid must not exceed the limits mentioned in point 2.8
2.12 Connection frequency
It is important to know the connection frequency with which the coupling is used, while this has significant influence on the life of
both springs and seals.
An under-estimated value can cause unexpected fluid loss.
2.13 Safety device
If used in environments or machines in strict closeness at persons, animals or objects (1 meter), within easy accidental
disconnection conditions, it is highly recommended to use ball locked couplings with security system or screw couplings and to
make sure that the preventive disconnection mechanism is correctly screwed together.
2.14 Mechanical loads
Side loads, mechanical stresses in general and vibrations reduce significantly the life of the product and are often the cause of
sudden damages.
It is recommended to assemble quick release couplings without risks of mechanical damage and over-loading caused by stress
generated in flexible or rigid hoses and to assemble quick release couplings on hoses with proper dimensions referred to the
nominal passage of the quick release coupling.
2.15 Rotation
In case of applications with rotation use only products developed for this scope.
In case of rotation between male and female part it is necessary to inform in advance Stucchi customer service or to provide
the connection with swivel joints suitable for this scope.
2.16 Special applications
You should be advised to take particular attention to special applications (such as vacuum use, high temperature, etc...).
Please consult Stucchi customer service who is able to give instructions concerning the use of Stucchi products.
Do not use Stucchi products in nuclear , aircraft or military field ; do not use Stucchi products in explosive environment or with inflammable , explosive or dangerous fluid. In this cases contact Stucchi Customer Service for assistance.
3.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR STOCK PRESERVATION
For a correct preservation of the product and in order to avoid damage before even starting to use the product read carefully
the following instructions.
3.1 Packaging
The products have to be kept in closed packaging to protect the components, mainly the seals, from dust and ultraviolet radius.
3.2 Environments
The products shall be kept in environments with low percentage of humidity, no condensation, no salt, protected from
atmospheric factors, far away from heating devices and magnetic fields.
Eliminate equipment that can produce ozone, as this element is extremely destructive for the seals.
3.3 Protection cap
The protection cap assembled on the thread has to be removed at the moment of the product installation only.
3.4 Special packaging
In case of requests for special packaging contact the customer service.
4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Pre Installation inspections
Before installation of the product it is necessary to inspect it visually and to verify if the part number and description of the
product refers to the one requested.
4.2 Use of flexible hoses
To absorb better the vibrations and mechanical stress on the connection mechanism of the couplings, it is suggested to use
flexible hoses.
In this way you avoid vibrations of the circuit that cause accidental disconnection or damage on the coupling.
4.3 Hose assembling
The hose has to be assembled so that connection/disconnection of the couplings takes place in easy way and aligned position.
Presence of high radial/axial forces creates misalignment of the couplings during connection/disconnection and can cause
damage on the connection and sealing parts.
4.4 Adapter assembling
Use adapters and sealing systems conform to the thread of the product only.
To install and remove the couplings use proper tools and act only on flat spanner surfaces of the coupling. Do not use improper
tools (spanner for hoses, bench vice, pincer etc.) while these can cause damage on the coupling with malfunction as result.
Use the tightening torque stabilized by the norm to screw the adapters.
4.5 Positioning of the coupling
It is suggested to install the couplings in such way that they can easy be connected and disconnected, reducing to the
minimum the forces and risks for the operator.
It is suggested to protect the couplings using shelters and protections (see sector norms) to guarantee the security and to
prevent damage.

SERIES: FIRG
INTERCHANGE: ISO 16028 and NFPA T3.20.15 (HTMA)
MAIN APPLICATIONS
“FIRG” is the “original one” of the
flat face coupling series. Created in
1983, the “FIRG” series has
represented a great innovation in
the quick couplings field. Used in a
wide range of hydraulic
applications, the “FIRG” series over
time has become the leading series
for the realization of ISO 16028
interchangeability. Based on the
durable performance and many
benefits the series offers, “FIRG”
series is most frequently used and
approved in the world-wide
hydraulic equipment
manufacturer’s market.
It finds approval in all the
applications where fluid loss and
contamination of the hydraulic
circuit needs to be eliminated.
• Mobile construction equipment
• Hydraulic tools
• Vehicles
• Industrial equipment

• Interchangeability: ISO 16028 (from size 6.3 to 25)
HTMA (size 10)
• Valve system: Flat face
• Mechanical connection: Locking balls
• Connection system: Pushing one half towards the other
• Disconnection system: Pulling back the sleeve of female
• Connection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Disconnection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Threads available: BSP, NPT, SAE
Hardened surface area
to reduce the “brinelling”
effect
High number of locking
balls to reduce the
“brinelling” effect
Flat face valves
• Construction material: Carbon steel
• Surface treatment: CrIII zinc plated
• External springs: AISI 302
• Internal springs: C72 steel
• Balls: Hard steel 100 C6
• Seals: standard in NBR (Nitrile)
• Seals on request: VITON or others
• Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE
Safety lock to prevent
accidental disconnection
Swaged seal to prevent
extrusion at high flow rates
Special design PTFE “U”
seal for high resistance
against extrusion
BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination to the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Linear flow reduces internal turbulence and pressure drop, maintaining circuit efficiency in the entire system.
• Good resistance at impulse pressures.
• Compact slim design.
• Safe and simple to use.

SERIES: FIRG
HOW TO USE
• Before to couple clean the flat mating surface of quick coupling to avoid the inclusion of dirty in the circuit.
• To couple push the male half towards the female half or vice versa.
• After connection turn the external sleeve to engage lock function, to prevent accidental disconnection.
• To uncouple turn the external sleeve until the sleeve lock groove corresponds with the safety lock ball and pull
back the sleeve.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow and/or pressure in the circuit.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.

SERIES: APM
INTERCHANGE: ISO 16028 and NFPA T3.20.15 (HTMA)
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “APM” male flat face coupling
series is the Stucchi solution for the
manual connection with residual
pressure in the circuit. The couplings
have a triple valve system: double
internal pressure release valve and
the flat face valve.
This system easily allows the
connection of couplings with the
presence of high internal residual
pressure without fluid loss. Based on
this main feature, “APM” couplings
are the ideal solution to hydraulic
applications where there is the
requirement to connect the circuit
with internal residual pressure.
• Mobile construction equipment
• Agricultural equipment
• Hydraulic tools
• Industrial equipment

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND OPTIONS
• Interchangeability: ISO 16028 (from size 10 to 25) HTMA (size 10)
• Valve system: Flat face
• Mechanical connection: Locking balls
• Connection system: Push to connect
• Disconnection system: Pulling back the sleeve of female
• Connection with residual pressure: Only in the APM
male coupling, the female coupling must be to drain
• Disconnection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Threads available: BSP, NPT, SAE
• Threads on request: Metrics DIN, ORFS or other
• Material: High grade carbon steel
• Surface treatment: CrIII zinc plated
• Internal springs: C72 steel
• Seals: standard in NBR (Nitrile)
• Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE
• On request: different materials and seals
Hardened surface area
to reduce the “brinelling”
effect
Flat face valve
Modular structure
Double valve system to
release pressure
Special design PTFE “U” seal
for high resistance against
extrusion
Male body black zinc
plated for identification
BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination to the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Internal pressure release valve system allows manual connection with high internal residual pressure.
• The modular design allows flexibility with the range of port configurations.
• Good resistance at impulse pressures.
• Compact slim design.
• Safe and simple to use.

SERIES: APM
HOW TO USE
• Before to couple clean the flat mating surface of quick coupling to avoid the inclusion of dirty in the circuit.
• To couple push the male half towards the female half or vice versa.
• After connection turn the external sleeve to engage lock function, to prevent accidental disconnection.
• To uncouple turn the external sleeve until the sleeve lock groove corresponds with the safety lock ball and pull
back the sleeve.
WARNING!
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow in the circuit. Connection is allowed only with residual pressure trapped in
the circuit.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps. The protection caps of
“FIRG-A” series are suitable with male couplings “APM”.
• It is important maintain a good cleanliness of circuit because a high grade of dirty could compromise the
function of the internal double valve.

* Spillage is an indicative value of the fluid loss per couple-uncouple cycle.
° Tested with female couplings “A” series
THEORETICAL CALCULATION OF CONNECT FORCE WITH RESIDUAL PRESSURE:
Fp (N) = Fi + (Pm x 5)
Fi = Connection force without residual pressure (N)
Pm = Residual pressure in the male coupling (MPa)
EXAMPLE:
To connect the male coupling APM13 with 20 Mpa of residual pressure, it is necessary the following force:
Fp = Fi + (Pm x 5) = 190 + (20 x 5) = 290 N
• Temperature range:
- Standard seals NBR (Nitrile): from -20 °C to +100 °C ( from -4 °F to +212 °F).
• Tests:
- The couplings have been tested at impulse with max. operating pressure for 100.000 impulses in according with ISO 7241-2.

A CONSTANT FLOW OF SOLUTIONS
25
SERIES: VP-P
INTERCHANGE: Stucchi internal specification
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “VP-P” screw flat face coupling
series is the technological solution
to demanding hydraulic
applications.
The screw connection system
eliminates premature wear and the
“brinelling” caused by a
mechanical locking ball system.
This makes the “VP-P” series
suitable for high operating and
impulse pressures.
The triple valve system allows
connection of the coupling safely
even in presence of high internal
residual pressure and at the same
time avoiding fluid loss. The safety
sleeve integrated in the connection
system prevents accidental
disconnection making the “VP-P”
series ideal for the most extreme
operating conditions where strong
vibration and torsion issues
are present.
• Mobile construction equipment
• Hydraulic equipment
• Drilling rigs
• Vehicles

BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination in the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Internal flow of valve design creates minimal pressure drop, maintaining circuit efficiency in the system.
• Internal pressure release valve system allows an easy connection with high internal residual pressure.
• The safety sleeve integrated in the connection system prevents the accidental disconnection.
• The modular design allows for broad range of port configurations.
• Good resistance at impulse pressures.
• Safe and simple to use.
A CONSTANT FLOW OF SOLUTIONS
27
SERIES: VP-P
HOW TO USE
• Before connecting clean the flat mating surface of coupling to avoid inclusion of contamination in the circuit.
• To couple align the female coupling to the male coupling, push the male and twist in one motion to catch the first
thread on the female half and continue to thread together.
The screwing of the threads should be done by hand without the use of the tools for the first part of the
connection.
The use of tools for the second part of connection can be necessary if there is high residual pressure in the circuit.
Thread the mating halves until the sleeve lock clicks into position. This activates the safety lock and eliminates
accidental disconnection of the coupling.
• To uncouple pull the locking sleeve towards the male coupling and unthread the connection.
The tighten is disengaged after one complete rotation of the coupler, continue to unthread until both halves
disconnect.
If safety lock sleeve will not pull back rotate the male coupling to couple direction until the sleeve will pull back.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure at high frequency.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow in the circuit. Connection only allowed with residual pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• Do not disconnect the coupling without pulling back the safety sleeve.
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.
• It is important to limit contamination in the circuit to avoid compromising the function of the internal valves.

SERIES: VEP-P
INTERCHANGE: Stucchi internal specification
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “VEP-P” screw flat face
coupling series is the Stucchi
solution for hydraulic applications
requiring high operating pressures and
connection with residual
pressure trapped in the circuit.
The screw connection system
eliminates the premature wear or
“brinnelling” typically associated with
locking ball connection
systems when used in high impulse
circuits. The triple valve system
allows connection of the coupling
safely even in the presence of high
internal residual pressure and
at the same time eliminates
fluid loss during the
connection-disconnection process.
• Drilling rigs
• Mobile construction equipment
• Hydraulic equipment
• Vehicles

SERIES: VEP-P
TECHNICAL FEATURES AND OPTIONS
• Interchangeability: Stucchi internal specification
• Valve system: Flat face
• Mechanical connection: Screw system
• Connection system: Screw to connect
• Disconnection system: Unscrew to disconnect
• Connection with residual pressure: Pressure in the male
coupling, female coupling or both.
• Disconnection with residual pressure: Allowed
• Threads available: BSP, NPT, SAE
• Threads on request: Metrics DIN, ORFS or others
• Construction material: High grade
carbon steel.
Threaded zone treatment:
nitriding + oxidation (QPQ)
• Other surface treatment: Zinc plated
• External springs: AISI 302
• Internal springs: C72 steel
• Seals: standard in NBR (Nitrile),
PUR (Polyurethane), POM (Delrin)
• Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE

BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination in the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Internal flow of valve design creates minimal pressure drop, maintaining circuit efficiency in the system.
• Internal pressure release valve system allows an easy connection with high internal residual pressure.
• The modular design allows for broad range of port configurations.
• High resistance with impulse pressures.
• Safe and simple to use.

34
SERIES: VEP-P
HOW TO USE
• Before connecting clean the flat mating surface of coupling to avoid inclusion of contamination in the circuit.
• To couple pull forward the connection sleeve of the female coupling. Align the female and male coupling holding forward
the connection sleeve and thread together turning the sleeve.
Keep couplers aligned during connection process. Do not push to connect couplings.
The screwing of the threads should be done by hand without the use of the tools for the first part of the connection.
The use of tools for the second part of connection can be necessary if there is high residual pressure in the circuit.
Screw the connecting sleeve of the female until metal surface contact with the male coupling is complete.
Tighten the sleeve to the base of the male using the tightening torque spec. as indicated in the table below.
• To uncouple turn sleeve from contact position using a wrench, then unscrew making sure the couplings stay aligned
through the entire process.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure at high frequency.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow in the circuit. Connection only allowed with residual pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.
• It is important to limit contamination in the circuit to avoid compromising the function of the internal valves.

SERIES: VEP-HD
INTERCHANGE: Stucchi internal specification
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “VEP-HD” screw flat face
coupling series is another example
of the continuous improvement
of Stucchi products. Designed for
heavy duty applications with high
operating pressure, high impulse
frequency, and mechanical stress.
The “VEP-HD” couplings are
manufactured in high resistance
carbon steel material treated with
special nitriding treatment to
increase the wear resistance
of the coupling.
This series has been tested to
1’000’ 000 impulse cycles.
The triple valve system allows a
connection of the coupling safely
even in presence of high internal
residual pressure and at the same
time avoiding fluid loss during the
connection-disconnection process.
• Mobile construction equipment
• Hydraulic equipment
• Drilling rigs • Vehicles

SERIES: VEP-HD
HOW TO USE
• Before connecting clean the flat mating surface of coupling to avoid inclusion of contamination in the circuit.
• To couple pull forward the connection sleeve of the female coupling. Align the female and male coupling
holding forward the connection sleeve and thread together turning the sleeve.
Keep couplers aligned during connection process. Do not push to connect couplings.
The screwing of the threads should be done by hand without the use of the tools for the first part of the
connection.
The use of tools for the second part of connection can be necessary if there is high residual pressure in the circuit.
Screw the connecting sleeve of the female until metal surface contact with the male coupling is complete.
Tighten the sleeve to the base of the male using the tightening torque spec. as indicated in the table below.
• To uncouple turn sleeve from contact position using a wrench, then unscrew making sure the couplings stay
aligned through the entire process.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure at high frequency.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow in the circuit. Connection only allowed with residual pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.
• It is important to limit contamination in the circuit to avoid compromising the function of the internal valves.

A CONSTANT FLOW OF SOLUTIONS
45
SERIES: A-HP
INTERCHANGE: Stucchi internal specification
MAIN APPLICATIONS
“A-HP” is the flat face coupling
series designed for high pressure
hydraulic applications up to
720 bar / 10,440 psi.
The couplings are manufactured
with high resistance carbon steel.
The flat face design eliminates
leakage during connecting and
disconnecting. For safety, the
couplings are designed not to
interchange with lower pressure
couplings and the automatic safety
lock prevents accidental
disconnection. “ A-HP” series is
used in applications where high
operating pressure is necessary with
maximum safety features.
• Rescue equipment
• Hydraulic tools
• Hydraulic jacks
• Industrial equipment

• Interchangeability: Stucchi internal specification
• Valve system: Flat face • Mechanical connection: Locking balls
• Connection system: Push to connect
• Disconnection system: Pulling back the sleeve of female
• Connection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Disconnection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Threads available: NPT, BSP
• Threads on request: Male NPT
• Construction material: High resistance
carbon steel
• Surface treatment: CrIII zinc plated
• External springs: AISI 302
• Internal springs: C72 steel
• Locking ball material: Hard steel 100 C6
• Seals: NBR (Nitrile)
• Seals on request: Others kinds
• Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE
Hardened surface area
to reduce the “brinelling”
effect
Bodies black zinc plated
for identification
Automatic safety lock to
prevent accidental
disconnection
Modular structure
Flat face valves
Modular structure
Metal to metal sealing system
to avoid potential
damage of seal caused
by high operating pressure
Special design PTFE “U” seal
for high resistance against
extrusion
BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination to the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Internal design reduces pressure drop, increasing circuit efficiency.
• The automatic safety lock to prevent accidental disconnection, avoids to the operator to make two movements
saving time to connect. This benefit is very important mainly for the rescue equipment.
• The modular structure allows broad range of port configurations.
• Compact slim design.
• Safe and simple to use.

SERIES: A-HP
HOW TO USE
• Before to couple clean the flat mating surface of quick coupling to avoid the inclusion of dirty in the circuit.
• To couple push the male half towards the female half or vice versa until the coupler sleeve clicks.
Upon connection the safety sleeve automatically rotates engaging the safety lock mechanism. In this safety lock
position the coupling can not be disconnected until the operator aligns the sleeve in the proper position (safety
locking ball aligned with groove in the coupler sleeve).
• To uncouple turn the external sleeve until the sleeve lock groove is aligned with the safety locking ball and pull
back the sleeve.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure at high frequency.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow and/or pressure in the circuit.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).

SERIES: FL
INTERCHANGE: ISO 16028 and NFPA T3.20.15 (HTMA)
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “FL” flat face coupling series is
the Stucchi solution for applications
in high corrosion environments
and/or for corrosive fluid transfer.
The “FL” couplings are
manufactured in stainless steel AISI
316, standard seals are
Viton / Flourocarbon with the
option of other seal
materials upon request for use with
various fluids and operating
temperatures. The features of flat
face couplings in stainless steel
to eliminate leakage during
connection-disconnection, reduce
contamination in the circuit, and
offer optimal resistance to corrosion
make “FL” series ideal for
applications such as: offshore,
marine, industrial equipment,
chemical, Pharmaceutical and
food processing.

HOW TO USE
• Before to couple clean the flat mating surface of quick coupling to avoid the inclusion of dirty in the circuit.
• To couple push the male half towards the female half or vice versa.
• After connection turn the external sleeve to engage lock function, to prevent accidental disconnection.
• To uncouple turn the external sleeve until the sleeve lock groove corresponds with the safety lock ball and pull
back the sleeve.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow and/or pressure in the circuit.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.
The plastic caps of “FIRG-A” series are suitable for “FL” couplings.
On request caps in stainless steel AISI 316.

SERIES: FIRG-Q
INTERCHANGE: ISO 16028 and NFPA T3.20.15 (HTMA)
MAIN APPLICATIONS
The “FIRG-Q” flat-face couplings
series is the solution for mildly corrosive
environments and/or for relatively
corrosive fluid transfer (ex.: sweet water,
water and glycol etc).
Products are manufactured in
carbon steel and treated with
special nitriding and oxidation treatment.
The internal valve material is
stainless steel AISI303 and can be
supplied with a variety of seals for fluid
compatibility and operating
temperature requirements.
The flat face design
eliminates leakage during
connection-disconnection and
reduces contamination in the circuit.
The combined features of the flat face
design with greater resistance to
corrosion makes “FIRG-Q”
series ideal for several applications,
mainly in the industrial field.

• Seals on request: HNBR or others
• Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE
Safety lock to prevent
accidental disconnection
Swaged seal to prevent
extrusion at high flow rates.
Version with KALREZ seals
has a metal to metal
sealing system.
BENEFITS
• Flat face is easy to clean, helping to reduce the inclusion of contamination to the hydraulic circuit.
• Minimal fluid loss during connection / disconnection, reducing fluid loss to the environment.
• Minimal air inclusion during connection / disconnection, enhancing correct function of the circuit.
• Linear flow reduces internal turbulence and pressure drop, maintaining circuit efficiency in the entire system.
• Superior corrosion resistance compared to zinc plating in specific corrosive environments.
• Good resistance at impulse pressures.
• Compact slim design.
• Safe and simple to use.

SERIES: FIRG-Q
HOW TO USE
• Before to couple clean the flat mating surface of quick coupling to avoid the inclusion of dirty in the circuit.
• To couple push the male half towards the female half or vice versa.
• After connection turn the external sleeve to engage lock function, to prevent accidental disconnection.
• To uncouple turn the external sleeve until the sleeve lock groove corresponds with the safety lock ball and pull
back the sleeve.
WARNING!
• Do not use the female coupling disconnected with impulse pressure.
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow and/or pressure in the circuit.
• Do not couple-uncouple when the temperature inside of the circuit is higher than 80 °C (176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.
The plastic caps for “FIRG-A” series are suitable with “FIRG-Q” couplings.

PROTECTION CAPS FOR FIRG - A, VP-P, VEP-P AND VEP-HD SERIES
Protective caps are always recommended to protect the couplings from damage, dirt inclusion, and will increase
the product life. This is particularly important in mobile applications where exposure to weather and aggregate
materials are common.
The protection caps for FIRG-A series are available in three kind of materials:
- PVC (from FIRG14-A7 to FIRG114-A21)
- Aluminum (from A25 to FIRG200)
- Nylon (from FIRG38-A9 to FIRG100-A17)
The protection caps for VP-P, VEP-P and VEP-HD series are manufactured in anodizing aluminum.
