Product Overview – Nitto (Hi‑Cupla / PVR) Female‑Insert Couplers
These are quick‑connect air/water couplers—often called “Japanese‑style” or “Nitto‑style” couplers—that feature a female-threaded socket (insert), commonly known as the SF (Socket Female) type. They connect via one-touch and are widely used in pneumatic systems.
Material, Pressure, and Features
-
Body materials: Chrome‑plated steel by default; brass or stainless steel variants are available for corrosion resistance
-
Seal material: Typically NBR (nitrile rubber); higher‑temp models may use FKM (fluoro rubber)
-
Working pressure: Around 15 bar (~215 psi)
-
Operating temp range: From approximately –20 °C to +60 °C, depending on specific series
-
Valve feature: Integrated one‑way auto shut‑off valve prevents airflow when disconnected
-
Durability: Designed to endure tens of thousands of connect/disconnect cycles (e.g. 100,000 tests)
-
Safety variants: PVR series includes purge and sleeve‑lock mechanisms to relieve stored pressure and prevent accidental disconnects—especially critical for larger flows (½”, ¾”, 1″)
