Hose Coupling
Bauer Coupling
The Bauer coupling is a quick release coupling for agriculture and industry, cast in galvanised or stainless steel and made in 2 inch to 12 inch.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The Bauer coupling is a quick release coupling for agriculture and industry, cast in galvanised or stainless steel and made in 2 inch to 12 inch. It comes in two types: Type A uses a locking lever with male ball and female socket hose tails, Type B uses a locking ring with the same tails. The steel construction is why it is chosen where aluminium will not survive the duty.
Key Benefits
- Galvanised or stainless steel for duty that would wear out an aluminium coupling
- Type A locking lever or Type B locking ring to match existing equipment on the farm or site
- Heat resistant with high tensile strength for demanding transfer lines
- Universal design that connects across a wide mix of equipment
