This Dixon HTF series steel flush face push-to-connect hydraulic quick connect coupler has a female NPTF threaded end, and connects to a flush face hydraulic quick connect plug to minimize fluid loss. The female Dryseal National Pipe Thread Taper Fine (NPTF) threaded end connects with male NPTF threads for a leak-tight connection or with male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for a leak-resistant connection. Steel provides better weldability and greater rust resistance than wrought iron. This automatic coupler has a push-to-connect operation, shuts off when disconnected, and has a sleeve lock to guard against accidental disconnection. This plug conforms to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 16028 specifications for hydraulic fluid power, flush-face type, quick-action couplings. It is used for hydraulic applications in industrial operations.

Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
