CB-SP-6FN-PD Diagnostic Flat-Face Coupler
A Flat-Face Coupler Built for Hydraulic Diagnostics
The CB-SP-6FN-PD is a compact flat-face hydraulic quick coupler designed specifically for test points and pressure measurement ports within hydraulic systems. It adopts a dry-break structure based on the ISO 16028 standard and features reliable sealing, even under high pressure and frequent connect/disconnect cycles.
Unlike general-purpose couplers, this model is intended for precision use, where cleanliness, control, and compact flow are essential.
Key Features at a Glance
• Flat-Valve Construction
Minimizes fluid loss during disconnection—ideal for clean diagnostics or sampling.
• Automatic Valve Shutoff
When uncoupled, the internal valve closes automatically, preventing drips or backflow.
• Reliable Valve Opening Upon Coupling
Once connected, the valve opens fully within its rated range to ensure stable, uninterrupted fluid flow.
• Induction-Hardened Internal Parts
Key components are hardened for long-term durability and high-frequency operation.
• Precision Machined from Solid Bar Stock
Both male and female halves are manufactured from solid bar, not cast parts—resulting in tighter tolerances and more reliable performance.
• Secure Ball-Lock Mechanism
The coupler pair is held firmly by a rugged ball-lock system that ensures safety and repeatability.
• Interchangeable With:
• FASTER DF Series (Italy)
• PARKER PD Series (USA)
• AEROQUIP FD90 Series (USA)

FAQ
Q: Can this be used for standard tool connections?
A: No. This model is optimized for test points and diagnostic lines, not designed for high-flow applications.
Q: Does it require pressure release before disconnecting?
A: Yes. Always bleed the system before disconnecting to avoid damage or injury.
Q: Is it compatible with my existing Parker PD couplers?
A: Yes. CB-SP-6FN-FD is fully interchangeable with PD, DF, and FD90 series within the same size.
