Tank Truck VK Couplings (TW Male Couplings)

The VK-type Tank Truck (TW) male coupling is an industrial standard components designed for safe, quick, and leak-free connection of hoses and piping systems. This male part mates seamlessly with the female MK coupling, where it is firmly locked into place by the MK lever handle. It typically features a female thread for easy installation onto adapters, manifolds, or stationary equipment.

Key Features:

• Fast & Effortless Coupling: The symmetrical design allows the VK coupling to enter the female MK part at any angle, significantly speeding up bulk loading and unloading operations.
• Heavy-Duty Resistance: Built to withstand severe mechanical stress, strong vibrations, and sudden pressure changes during fluid transfer.
• Premium Material Selection: Available in high-grade brass, stainless steel (AISI 316), or aluminum to ensure excellent chemical compatibility with aggressive media and petroleum products.
• Standard Compliance: Fully manufactured according to EN ISO 14420-6 (formerly DIN 28450) standards, ensuring universal interchangeability with other TW components worldwide.

Technical Specifications:

• Working Pressure: Up to 16 bar (230 PSI).
• Thread Type: Female parallel BSP thread (G) according to ISO 228-1 (equipped with a flat thread seal).
• Available Sizes: Standard industrial sizes including DN50 (2"), DN80 (3"), and DN100 (4").
• Thread Seal: Typically supplied with a PUR (Polyurethane) or PTFE thread gasket.

Applications: Tank trucks, chemical and petrochemical plants, dry bulk handling (e.g., pellets, animal feed), port terminals, and fuel service stations.
