Plastic Cupla BC Type

Nitto Kohki Plastic Cupla BC Type quick-release couplings combine a lightweight thermoplastic body with a one-touch push-to-connect mechanism rated for working pressures up to 0.9 MPa (approx. 130 psi) and operating temperatures from -10 °C to +60 °C. The double-valve design ensures automatic shut-off on both the plug and the socket upon disconnection, minimising air loss to <1 cm³/min at 0.5 MPa - a critical requirement in precision pneumatic assemblies. Lightweight ABS/nylon construction reduces fitting weight by up to 60 % compared to equivalent brass couplings, supporting ergonomic tool-change cycles in assembly lines.

As an authorised distributor for Nitto Kohki pneumatic quick couplings, esd.equipment stocks the complete Plastic Cupla BC Type range - compatible with Nitto Kohki standard BC-series plugs and sockets, manufactured to ISO 6150 (pneumatic quick-action couplings) and tested to JIS B 8369 standards. With 4 product variants available, the BC Type covers the essential male/female combinations for lightweight pneumatic circuits in industrial and laboratory environments.
