Unique full-open gate type valve mechanism realizes low pressure loss and high flow rate, which reduces required source air volume.

• The flow rate is increased by up to 40% more than that of conventional Cuplas.
• During connection and disconnection, the valve is closed, enabling connection/disconnection under zero line pressure.
• When the sleeve of socket is returned to its original position, the purge mechanism releases the residual air pressure in the plug, eliminating an unpleasant popping noise and a hose whip back motion on disconnection.
• Built-in sleeve lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnection of Cuplas, assuring safe operation.
• The valve can be opened and closed while the socket and plug is connected.
• The weight is reduced by 30 to 45% compared with that of conventional Cuplas.

Note: Direct mounting of Full-Blow Cupla to percussive and vibrating tools should be avoided.
