- An interlock prevents accidental opening
- Helps meet EPA standards
- Better flow:
- Smooth bore
- Simple configuration
- Low-pressure drop
- Ideal for higher-viscosity fluids
- Smaller and lighter:
- Compact and lightweight
- Easy to maneuver
- Fits in tight spaces
- Yet the still drip-free and high flow
Protect both the environment and employees while avoiding costly clean-ups. Conserve every drop of precious commodities. Couplers include a standard built-in swivel.
No Drips, No Spills
Dry Link couplings trap fluids before they drip onto the floor or ground. Even small drips can pollute or be dangerous or expensive. Disconnected Dry Link couplings are completely drip-free. Facing discs in the coupler and adapter connect the assembly. The discs swivel to open and close, keeping their faces totally dry.
The flow shut-off mechanism resembles a butterfly valve with very low flow restriction. This design enhances flow while also reducing the risk of internal gunk-ups that can lead to connection malfunctions. A safety interlock prevents accidental opening, and a unique sealing arrangement results in the world's drip-free dry disconnect.
Construction:
No-Hassle Operation
Dry Link is the premier manufacturer of dry-disconnect hose couplings for the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food industries. Ideal for hazardous, high-viscosity, high-flow, and hygienic applications. Patented couplings are up to 50% lighter and more compact than comparable dry-disconnect couplings. Plus, Dry Link couplings use fewer internal components for maximum flow. The modern world depends on substances that could cause harm if they are not stored or handled properly. The only true drip-free coupling on the market. Offers greater protection to workers, eliminates costly clean-ups, and helps you meet EPA standards. Dry Link couplings help reduce greenhouse gases. Dry Link has served domestic and international customers since the early 90s. Dry Link dry-disconnect couplings can be used anywhere a hose is used to transfer fluids, especially where the fluids are hazardous, toxic, corrosive, or flammable.
Sanitary couplings are typically specified in pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, food, and cosmetic industries where ultra cleanliness is required. Sanitary couplings are internally polished to 20 RA micro-inch mirror finish. The smooth bore has no voids, dead spaces, crevices, or fillers that may trap bacteria. Easily sanitized using steam or other methods.
Maximum Working Pressure:
For one-time field tests only, the maximum joint working pressure may be increased to 1-1/2 times the figures shown. For highly slippery liquids, such as glycol; pressure-temperature ratings are derated than shown here.
