Engineering FAQ

Q1: Why specify the Two-Touch mechanism for automotive bays?

The Two-Touch design enforces deliberate sleeve manipulation. In high-activity environments where hoses are dragged across shop floors, this prevents unintended decoupling, ensuring personnel safety and operational control.

Q2: Can the Locking Ball count be customized?

Yes. Our standard configuration is optimized for typical automotive tensile loads. For extreme pull-force or high-vibration applications, we offer custom engineering to meet your safety mandates.
