A growth industry \ce the invention of cam and groove qi k couplings, demand has grown steadily because they excel all other methods in ease of use and reliability. In addition to the hundreds of known uses, industrial engineers are finding new ones daily. Usage has expanded so rapidly that the standards in this catalogue are accepted world-wide for most liquid, gas and bulk transfer systems. Ritepro has manufactured reliable, high-speed cam and groove quick couplings for the past decade. We maintain high inventories and also manufacture many specialty couplings. Our engineering and quality control standards are rigidly exact 1o ensure perfect interchangeability wherever our couplings may be in use. Parts are manufactured to specification A-A 59326 (Superseding MIL-C27487). If you do not find the solution to your coupling problem, contact us for additional formation and design services. How to make a quick connection ‘Te make connection, simply extend coupler arms and slip the adaptor ‘smoothly inside the coupler. Whon adaptor makes contact against the gasket, pross the cam levers down until they ave parallel to body of coupler with normal hand pressure. The cam bears on the groove keeping adaptor and coupler securely locked together in a permanent leakproof connection Until released. INDEX Construction features Eight basic parts described Uncoupling is just as quick and easy. Again, using normal hand pressure, 1g arms or levers je adaptor out of the coupler.

Operators preter tnelr ‘smooth, cacy oporation and pro- longed hose te, Cam and groove quick couplings save labor because they are so quick land easy to use. Installation is simple; operators need litle or no training; their rugged construction stands up well to heavy use. ‘Quick couplings eave time because of the great flexibility they bring to any liquid or gas handling transfer system, or for that matter, anything that flows, When there is a nood to accommodate rapid shift in supply and demane they facilitate immediate change In product flow between manufacturing, storage and distbution facilities. Losses and Interruption of flew are kept to a minimum. | ‘Quick coupling systems are simple to plan and set up. They save ‘material and space eliminating the redundancy of piping and fittings associated with permancnt inetallations. Thoir portability and flexibili- ty permit greater utilization. Rite Quick Couplings save labor, time and material Flexible, portable Tiant-tl system fecilitates rapic switching from one product to another speeding up Rugged quick couplings ensure ‘maximum utilization of mobile equipment. Their rugged construction will stand up to years of heavy use. This is especially important in developing areas where replacement and repair costs are abnormally high. Special metals and gasket matenale are available to handle problems of pressure, corrosion, volatility and Couplinge are designed 60 that the pressure in the ‘system complotes the eal if pressure increases, locking pprescure ineroacas too. This feature ensures complete ‘safety when handling hazardous materials. ‘Quick couplings reduce ‘or eliminate delays at key Measuring and blending ‘tations when there are frequent product changes. This is only one of many ways in which they may bo used to increase productivity of expensive machinery and equisment. ‘Speedy, leakproof coupling ensure minimum interuption of throughput ‘minimum loss of product or contamination. @Engineered to give years of leak-proof connections jos _ Frente ne ter ena or : Cone ay pane aees soon rt ing {en oping wane tos mefmum sa as osion nating oda ath Sieesecinn maar?
