One of a machine’s most crucial, but sometimes overlooked, parts are quick connect couplings, also known as quick connect fittings or quick disconnect fittings. Quick connect fittings are used to mate fluid or air lines with equipment, and their design is straightforward: a male end is inserted into a female socket to make a secure, leak-tight seal.

Read the latest Parker QCD Blog Post on the advantages of quick connect fittings in agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, electronics and data center markets.

Exotic Automation & Supply will be exhibiting at the AISTech Iron & Steel Technology Conference in Detroit, MI, May 8-11. We will be showcasing our safety product offering, including Control Reliable Hydraulic Safety Valves!

Since 2006, Control Reliable Hydraulic Safety Valves (formally Sidener Hydraulic Safety Valves) have incorporated the latest technologies and leveraged the latest safety standards to help machines run safer with increased productivity. The valves offer redundant, control reliable solenoid valves which permit the use of “Alternative Methods” according to the lockout/tagout standard. Cat. 3 PLd configurations are redundant so if there is a failure to one channel, the second channel will reliably perform the safety function. Click here to view our entire safety product offering.
