LQC SERIES – Twister® Locking Quick Connect

The Twister® LQC is the next generation of quick couplings designed as an option to replace conventional cam and groove couplings that are used in critical service applications. The Twister LQC is engineered to be used in conjunction with hoses and loading arms.

The power of the Twister® LQC is not only how it connects, but also how it stays connected. A quarter turn of the LQC onto a pipe allows a nipple to engage within a recessed area of the adaptor’s hook-shaped design. Pressure or vacuum within the line keeps the nipple secure in the hooked area of the adaptor. This patented design maintains a secure connection in high or low pressure uses.

SPECS

* Physically impossible to disengage coupling when pressure is in the line
* Handles extreme temperatures and pressures
* Exceptional materials of construction provide flexibility of application
* ¼-turn ON/OFF provides rapid engagement and reduces operator stress
* Engagement of connection and disconnection is done by hand – no tools required
* Smooth bore is ideal for pigging applications
* Available in Sizes: ¾”, 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″ and 6″
* Materials of Construction: Stainless Steel, Cold-Temperature Carbon Steel & Aluminum
* Pressure Ratings Equivalent to ANSI 150/300
