How To SelectProper coupler selection is important because of the variety of media for which they are used.
Four basic factors should be considered to assure proper selection:
Type – Operation – Flow – Media
TypeAll couplers consist of two basic components – a socket and a plug.
The type of coupler varies by the valving arrangements in these two components.
OperationOperation refers to the action required to connect and disconnect a coupler.
Operation is a function of sockets only and does not vary for plugs.
Manual sockets require manualretraction of the sleeve to both connect and disconnectthe plug.
Automatic
Automatic sockets accept theplug by simple insertion into thesocket and do not require retrac-tion of the sleeve to connect.
Safety Coupler
Safety sockets are a variation ofautomatic operation. The socketaccepts the plug by insertion. Thesleeve is moved straight forward tolock and turn on the air. The sleeveis moved back by rotating first tothe left and then to the right. Thisshuts off the supply line, exhauststhe downstream line, and thenreleases the plug.
Manual
In a “One Way Shut-Off,” only the sock-et has valving to shut off the flowwhen disconnected; it is, therefore,installed on the pressure side of theline. The plug has no valving andexhausts the downstream line at dis-connect.
Two Way Shut-Off
The “Two Way Shut-Off” provides valving in both the socket and theplug, thereby shutting off flow at bothof the disconnected ends. Originallydeveloped for hydraulic lines, they aresuitable for many other mediabecause of the variety of metals andseal compounds offered.
Straight-Thru
“Straight-Thru” couplers, as thename implies, do not have valvingin either the socket or the plug.Therefore, both ends of the line areexhausted at disconnect.
One Way Shut-Off
NOTE: The One Way Shut-Off is the only type offered by DYNA-CON.Please contact Foster Manufacturing for alternate types.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
MediaThe media flowing through the coupler will usually determine the type. Compressed air, many other gasses,
and some liquids can be handled by One Way Shut-Off couplers. Hydraulic fluids as well as many other liquids
and some gasses require Two Way Shut-Off.
FlowThe most important factor in properly sizing couplers is flow. Flow data is given throughout the catalog for
industrial interchange design couplers. Most One Way Shut-Off non-standard couplers have the same flow as
the same basic size industrial interchange design. All flows shown are for FPT couplers.

SPECIFICATIONS
• Extra thick heat-treated steel wallsto provide extended service life.
• Zero pressure connect/disconnectdesign vents downstream pressurefor safe, easy connect/disconnect.
• Diagram demonstrates principle ofoperation
• “O-ring” plug seal for improvedleak-free performance.
• No valve, spring or washer to blockflow of air or need replacement.
FEATURES• Safe, Easy to Use. When disconnecting, all downstream
air is bled off automatically. The hazard of flying orsnaking air hoses is totally eliminated. Connecting thecoupling is easier since the action does not requireengagement under full line pressure.
• Washerless. The Safety Vent socket uses “O-rings”instead of washers for sealing the mating plug. The cou-pling does not leak, coupling life is greatly extendedand maintenance costs are drastically reduced.
• More Efficient. By eliminating the need for restrictivepoppet valves the design provides up to 30% greaterair flow compared to a standard coupling. Air toolsoperate more efficiently because of the reduced pres-sure drop across the coupling.
