DesignThe KENT Systems Shut-Offquick coupling is offered in a male or female design and requires no additional steps to activate. The Shut-Off valve opens with the same 1/4 turn that locks the quick coupling into place and comes standard in light blue. Please contact KENT Systems for custom color options. FunctionThe Shut-Off quick coupling prevent fluid or gases from escapingthe quick coupling while you are connecting the product. The O-Ring creates a seal and the locking lugs hold the quick couplings together before the Shut-Off valve begins to open. This makes for an easy connection even in high pressure applications. |

Working Under PressureKENT Systems quick couplings also work better than other quick couplings at high pressures. The secret to this advantage lies with our patented cam action shut-off valve. When connecting our quick couplings, the locking lug holds the product together and a seal is created before the valve begins to open. As a result, the user is not forced to overcome the line pressure or messy leaks when connecting the quick couplings. |
Dead VolumeDead volume is the amount of fluid trapped between the valves of a quick coupling when it is disconnected. When working with messy or hazardous liquids, it’s important to look for a quick coupling with low dead volume. You are about to discover why KENT Systems is the best choice when it comes to this sort of application.

If you take a look at the video you can see the difference between our quick coupling and the push button quick coupling. Both are a ¼ inch shut off coupling. Inside each coupling is dead volume, and as you can see our quick coupling produces significantly less spillage than our competitor. Also, our competitors quick coupling even splatters when connecting, something our coupling does not do. Watch our dead volume video and enjoy! |

We apologize, but due to the fluctuation in the dollar exchange rate, many of our suppliers are unable to provide us with consistent pricing on the products we purchase from them.

DISCLAIMER: Please read and be sure you thoroughly understand this disclaimer before flying an ultralight aircraft. Paramotors, Powered Paragliders, PPG, PPG Trikes, Hang Glider Trikes, Weight shift Control Trikes - any of these small aircraft that weight less than 254 pounds and have a tank less than 5 gallons are considered Ultralights. These are single-place (solo) flying machines for sport aviation only during daylight hours. Ultralight flying is an extremely demanding sport requiring exceptional levels of attention, judgment, maturity and self discipline. It is unlikely that you will be able to participate in it safely unless you make a conscious and continual commitment to your own safety. Ultralight aircraft flying is an inherently dangerous sport and may result in injury and death even when practiced by a competent pilot using proper equipment. Ultralights are not covered by product liability insurance, nor have they been designed manufactured or tested to any federal or state government airworthiness standards or regulations. Do not fly them unless you are willing to assume personally all risks in the sport of ultralight flying, and all responsibility for any property damage, injury, or death which may result from your use of this activity. Safe operation of any ultralight aircraft requires a pilot proficiency equivalent to that of a Novice Solo Pilot or in some cases a BFI (Basic Flight Instructor), as well as an equivalent level of knowledge and understanding of those wind and weather conditions which may compromise the pilot's safe control of the ultralight. In particular, be advised that gusty winds or turbulent conditions may interfere with even an expert pilot's ability to safely control an ultralight aircraft, and may cause it to crash. Never take anything for granted in aviation. If you are in doubt about anything, stop and figure it out immediately. By purchasing this item, you assume sole responsibility for your safety and hold harmless the retailer and manufacturer for injury or death resulting from your use of this item.
