Description

Applications

Boss couplings are all-purpose hose couplings; universally recommended for steam hose connections. They are also widely used for air; water; fluid petroleum chemicals and liquid petroleum gas up to 1" ID. Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber; synthetic; plastic; metallic or semi-metallic hose.
Recommended for steam service up to 230°C / 450°F

Use

Boss couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting needed to connect two lengths of hose; or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet.
The spud part of the coupling serves as one half of the connection and is usually fixed to the equipment. The stem part that is clamped to the hose is the other half. The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud. When connected; they achieve a mechanical as well as a pressure seal.
Use with Boss Clamps and Boss Ground Joint Fittings

Features
