  s56 series
Meets dimensional requirements of ISO 7241-1
Series A.
A general purpose, fluid transfer quick coupling that provides higher burst pressure and superior flow to that of Aeroquip FD56 (5600) series and Parker 6600 series, while providing half-for-half interchangeability.
Due to SafeWay’s unique poppet style valving, the S56 Series has a shorter overall length and less weight than other brands they replace.
Manufactured from high quality hardened carbon steel.
SafeWay began a running change from zinc and yellow chromate plating (gold appearance) to ROHS compliant plating (silver appearance) in 2007.
Operating pressure is 4,000 psi (5,000 psi in the 1/4" size).
Available in body sizes from 1/4" to 1" with pipe thread and SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) standard.
All S56 Series quick couplings are 100% leak tested.
Ideal for minimal space applications.
 
Heavy-duty dust plugs and dust caps available.
Heavy-duty detent ball latch design for reliable connection
time after time.
The S56 Series uses high quality carbon steel in its valving and retainers; no powdered metal parts. A higher number of detent (locking) balls and a specially hardened male tip (nipple) add to the overall integrity of the product and its higher rated working pressure.
Unique poppet/seat design allows no extrusion gap, minimizing seal degradation under extreme pressures. Stainless steel valve springs and retainer rings are standard.
Method of obtaining and presenting performance data conforms to ANSI/(NFPA)T3.20.2.R2, Hydraulic fluid power - Quick-action couplings - Test methods.
