Parker Quick Coupling Division Oil & Gas

While topside equipment isn't submerged, the environment can still prove to be challenging. Topside equipment is exposed to seawater that, due to its high chloride content, can be aggressively corrosive. Allowing corrosion to continue unchecked can lead to equipment damage that brings production to a grinding halt, or can create an unsafe working environment.

Screw-to-connect couplings are built to withstand the demanding requirements of oil and gas production applications where hydraulic lines are subjected to the stress of high pressure impulses and vibration. Parker's FET and 59 Series hydraulic quick-disconnect couplings keep operations running smoothly for top side and on-shore drilling. Hydraulic lines connecting oil field equipment can be quickly disconnected and reconnected without extensive downtime. Quick-connect couplings allow workers to easily disconnect and connect top side lines from power units to subsea equipment.

These heavy duty, high pressure hydraulic screw to connect couplings are rated for pressures up to 6000 psi and can be connected and disconnected while hydraulic lines are under residual pressures. Parker FET and 59 Series also have flush face valves that are designed for non-spill operation, virtually eliminating fluid loss at disconnection and featuring low air inclusion at connection.

Off-shore topside applications include hydraulic power units and reelers while on-shore drilling applications include oil field equipment and service trucks. Parker's FET Series  and 59 Series screw to connect couplings are available for purchase on Parker.com. Simply add products to your cart. In-stock items ship within two days.

The FET and 59 Series have many similarities, but they also have significant differences that you should consider when choosing the best screw-to-connect couplers for your heavy duty application.
