Description

Parker E-z-mate is an exhaust-style coupler designed to exhaust air pressure prior to disconnection. This allows for connection and disconnection at 0 psi, greatly reduces the force required to couple and uncouple, and minimizes the possibility of hazardous hose whip. E-z-mate couplers use industrial interchange nipples and are interchangeable with Parker 20, 30, and HIF Series couplers.

Operation

Parker E-z-mate couplers combine push-to-connect, exhauststyle action with a self-locking valve sleeve to guard against accidental disconnection. Simply follow the direction of the On-Off arrow stamped on the gold valve sleeve. It's that easy.

To connect, push the nipple into the coupler. The black locking sleeve automatically slides forward securely locking the nipple in place. No air is allowed to flow through the coupling at this point The gold valve sleeve is then rotated clockwise (when viewed from the coupler port end) to open flow and automatically engage the sleeve-lock mechanism.
