Quick Connects, O-Rings

[steamclean]

If your like me and have problems with your female quick connects from time to time after having them only a few months I have some info that might help us all.
Yesterday I decide to look into it further and called Parker Hannifin Corp. the maker of the Parker quick connects. I contacted customer service.

They transferred me to the coupling division, they said that we should be using the BH2 60W or BH2 61W that the O-rings are made of Ethylene Propylene and that they will hold up to higher temperatures, a lot better then the BH2 60 that we have been using. The BH2 60 will swell up due to the higher water temperatures in the hotter truck mounts.

So if there are any distributors out there reading this you may want to consider looking into it.

Have a good day.

I replace the first ring in with Viton way before the whole QC wears out.

Hi Ron;

We have been using Viton Parker QD's for several years on our TM outlet.

There are outer o'rings and inner o'rings in the BH2-60 series.

Viton resists the hi-heat and various chemicals in modern cleaning formulations.

We also put them on hose sets, for fire-breathers.

We also stock the Viton o'rings for the outer seal.
