The spud part of the coupling serves as one half of the boss ground joint connection and is usually fixed to the equipment
The stem part that is clamped to the hose is the other half
The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud, when connected they achieve both a mechanical and a pressure seal
Positive metal-to-polymer seal
Leakproof seal forms when the metal head of the stem makes contact with the patented polymer seat in the spud
The non-metallic polymer seat resists most chemicals found in manufacturing facilities, reference the corrosion resistance chart for additional information
Boss couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose, or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet
Easy to seal
Boss couplings are all-purpose hose couplings, universally recommended for steam hose connections, they are also widely used for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals and liquid petroleum gas up to 1 in ID
Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic or semi-metallic hose
Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous
They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary
Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated
Note: pressurized steam is an extremely dangerous commodity
Only hose, fittings, clamps and accessory items that have been approved for steam service should ever be used! never use an unapproved item for steam service
Always follow the manufacturer's product recommendations for pressurized steam handling
Warning: this product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm
Do not use in connection with drinking water
Wash hands after handling
