Coupling plug Rotary Plug RL-30PM, steel - Nitto Kohki 317610340

Rotary Plug is a swivelling steel plug for Nitto Kohki quick connect couplings. The swivel keeps the attached hose free of twist even as the equipment is moved around.

• Swivelling plug lets the hose follow the movement of the equipment
• Steel body made for continuous service
• NBR seal across all models in the RL range
• Connect by hand, with no tools and no rework of the line
• Available with male thread and with female thread

Operating principle

• Rotary function allows 360 deg swivelling.
• Big improvement for handling of pneumatic tools.
• Rotary neck plug for hose connection to pneumatic tools and pneumatic devices.
• Fits at 45 deg angle to the tool eliminating annoying offset load caused by connected hose.
• Ideal compact design enables optimum workability by simple body structure. Now far lighter and smaller than conventional models.
• New dust-proof design for increased durability.
• For air tackers, nailers, impact wrenches and other pneumatic tools.
• Ideal body angle achieved by the plug allows comfortable use of tools even in narrow places and overhead work.

Series comparison

ROTARY PLUG is the plug to take when the hose has to follow the tool: at 1.5 MPa {15 kgf/cm2} and one-way shut-off it matches the pressure class and valve type of HI CUPLA BL, NUT CUPLA, LOCK CUPLA 200, HI CUPLA Two Way Type, ROTARY LINE CUPLA and ROTARY FULL BLOW LINE CUPLA, so it changes neither the pressure class nor the valve behaviour of such a line. TWIST PLUG and COMPACT ZEROSPILL CUPLA stay at 1.0 MPa {10 kgf/cm2}; COMPACT ZEROSPILL CUPLA shuts off on both sides and is the choice when spill at disconnection weighs more than the swivel. ROTARY PLUG is offered in 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch, so within that size range the decision rests on the swivel requirement rather than on the pressure rating.
