Tank Truck VK Hose Couplings (TW Couplings)

The VK-type Tank Truck (TW) coupling with a hose shank is an industrial standard designed for the safe, quick, and reliable connection of hoses to tank trucks, storage tanks, and fueling systems. These couplings are widely used for transferring petroleum products, chemicals, and dry bulk materials.

Key Features:

• Secure Connection: The VK coupling (male part) smoothly couples with the MK coupling (female part) and locks firmly into place with a lever handle, ensuring zero leakage and vibration resistance.
• Hose Shank Design: The ribbed hose tail ensures a tight and secure grip on the hose when secured with clamps or crimp ferrules.
• Durability & Material Options: Available in high-quality brass, stainless steel (AISI 316), or aluminum to withstand harsh environments and corrosive fluids.
• Standard Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 14420-6 (formerly DIN 28450), ensuring global compatibility with other TW systems.

Technical Specifications:

• Working Pressure: Up to 16 bar (230 PSI).
• Working Temperature: Dependent on the seal material selected (NBR, Viton, PTFE).
• Available Sizes: Commonly available in DN50 (2"), DN80 (3"), and DN100 (4").

Applications: Tank trucks, chemical processing, agriculture, food industry (with food-grade seals), and dry bulk material handling.
