Hose Coupling
Quick VIC Coupling
Quick VIC couplings and clamps connect hose across fire protection, industrial and commercial systems.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
Quick VIC couplings and clamps connect hose across fire protection, industrial and commercial systems. Ours are used mainly to connect TPU layflat hose in oil and gas and dewatering, where a large bore joint has to be made and broken repeatedly in the field. They are cast or forged in aluminium alloy 6061-T6 with a corrosion resistant finish, in 4 to 16 inch (DN100 to DN400).
Key Benefits
- 6061-T6 aluminium alloy for strength at large bore without steel weight
- 4 to 16 inch range covers the full span of our TPU layflat hose
- Corrosion resistant finish for field service on oil and gas locations
- Quick to make and break, which is the point on a campaign that moves between pads

How It Is Made and Checked
Casting or forging. Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard.
- All raw materials approved by the Department of Quality Control
- Yarn strength and skein consistency verified before weaving
- Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
- All hoses tested at the test pressure
- Layflat hose held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
- Trace number recorded for production date, employees and raw material sources
Customization Options
- Colour made to order alongside the standard range
- OEM and ODM printing of your brand, with exclusive protection of your designs
- Length cut to the run you specify rather than a fixed stock length
- Couplings fitted before shipment and pressure tested as one assembly
Use Guide
- Match the coupling to the hose outside diameter, not just the nominal bore
- Check the gasket seats fully before closing the clamp
- Keep the clamp faces free of sand and grit
- Rinse after produced water service
- Inspect the finish for damage that could start corrosion
