PANAM quick connects provide a reliable, leak tight O-ring seal for vacuum or pressure systems and are interchangeable with other key manufacturers' products. They are push-to-connect for quick and easy operation, with a locking mechanism of large contact area to ensure reliable stem retainment.
Three configurations are offered: single-end shutoff (SESO) stems that remain open when uncoupled, double-end shutoff (DESO) stems with a valve that shuts off when uncoupled for minimal spillage and air inclusion, and full flow bodies for bidirectional flow. Bodies and stems are available with PANAM tube fitting, bulkhead tube fitting, male and female NPT, male and female BSPT, male JIC 37° flare and hose connector ends. Stem protectors, body protectors and keyed options are available.
Quick connects are 100% factory tested and comply with NACE MR0175 and NACE MR0103 with heat code traceability.
