LEAK-FREE HYDRAULIC CONNECTION SYSTEM
April 1st 2005

Legris has introduced a guaranteed leak-free pipework connection system for DIN 2353 couplings.

Launch of the three-bite DiNova cutting ring follows a major expansion by the company into hydraulic components.

Features of the system include metal-to-metal sealing, further sealing through PTFE seals, protection of the back seal during installation and a mechanical stop to confirm that the crimp has been properly achieved.

Leak-free hydraulic connections are essential not only for a clean working environment, but for safety. Even if the original seal is properly made, vibration can cause parts to move and fluid to escape. In applications such as braking systems, it can prove fatal.

All DiNova components – ring, body and nut – are lubricated to prevent the risk of seizing, to lower tightening torques and to offer better perception of the mechanical stop.
