1/4” BODY SIZEAutomatic exhausting air couplers with universal multiple interchange features.

Features:TOMCO UNIVERSAL SAFETY COUPLERS are exhaust type couplers designed to exhaust air pressure prior to disconnection. This allows for coupling and uncoupling at zero pressure which greatly reduces the force required to couple and uncouple and minimizes the possibility of hose whip. The black sleeve acts as an integral shut-off valve which exhausts down stream air and includes a mechanical sleeve lock to prevent accidental disconnect when the air fl ow is opened. The proven six ball locking system resists wear and provides positive connection.

Tomco U2 couplers provide a universal 4 way interchange combined with push-to-connect exhaust style action. To couple, push the plug into the coupler. The gold locking sleeve automatically locks the plug in place. The black valve sleeve is then slid to open air fl ow and automatically engage the sleeve lock. To disconnect, slide the black sleeve back to shut off air fl ow and exhaust downstream air. Then retract the gold sleeve to disconnect.

Construction: Anodized aluminum with nitrile seals.

TOMCO 2 position, 3 way, manually operated slide valves provide simple on/off airfl ow control. They are the ideal, low-cost method for operating single action air cylinders, air clamps, air gauges and similiar air-actuated devices. They can be mounted horizontally, veritcally or at an angle.

Sliding the operating sleeve to the ON position closes the valve’s relief ports and permits air to fl ow through the circuit. Sliding the sleeve in the opposite direction, opens the ports to bleed the air-operated device and shuts off the airfl ow. The slide protects the exhaust ports and directs exhaust air away from the operator’s hand.

TOMCO coolant couplers are engineered for op ti-

mum speed and performance in connecting coolant lines to molds used for thermoplastic, thermoset-ting, blow molding, diecasting and on other types of tooling and equipment uti liz ing a constant fl uid fl ow pumped through cool ing chan nels.

The quick connect feature of TOMCO couplers greatly sim pli fi es installation and removal of molds. It dra mat i cal ly reduces machinery down time.

To meet virtually any hook-up requirements, TOMCO coolant couplers are supplied in three confi gurations: straight stem, 90° stem and 45° stem.

Couplers are precision machined from cor ro sion re sis tant brass and are fi tted with either regular hose barbs or barbs for "push-on" type hose (in di cat ed by a suffi x "P" on the part number). The "push-on" type hose and barb com bi na tion elim i nates the need for clamps for a secure hose-to-barb assembly.

Standard seals are manufactured from a spe cial silicone compound that is resistant to the de struc tive effects of water, glycol (anti-freeze) or air.

TOMCO Series MC200, MC300 and MC500 male plugs are designed to be threaded directly into mold coolant ports.

Mold Coolant-Line Quick CouplersTOMCO Series MC200, MC300 & MC500

Protective counterbored holes in the mold ports permit these plugs to be mounted below the surface greatly sim pli fy ing handling and storage of molds. TOMCO male plugs are manu-factured of cor ro sion resistant brass. Fe male plugs are intended for use on pipe nipples when the con nec tion needs to be made outside the mold. They are ma chined from alloy steel.

WARNINGFAILURE, IMPROPER SELECTION, OR IMPROPER USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND /OR SYSTEMS DESCRIBED HEREIN, OR RELATED ITEMS, CAN CAUSE DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. This document and other information from TOMCO, its subsidiaries, and authorized distributors, provide product and/or system options for further investigation by users having technical expertise. It is important that you analyze all aspects of your application and review the information concerning the product or system in the current product catalog. Due to the variety of operating conditions and applications for these products, or systems, the user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the fi nal selection of the products and systems and assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met. The products described herein, including without limitation, product features, specifi cations, designs, availability, and pricing, are subject to change by TOMCO and its subsidiaries at any time without notice.

LOCKING MECHANISM

Couplers can accidentally disconnect when dragged over obstructions on the end of a hose. Where there is a potential for this to occur, sleeve lock design should be considered.

LOADS

Mechanical loads such as: excessive tensile, side loading, or vibration can reduce coupler life or cause failure.

VACUUM

When selecting a coupler for vacuum service, make sure it will withstand the vacuum and pressure of the system. Not all couplers are suitable for vacuum service.

COUPLER INSTALLATION

Couplers should be located so as not to expose the operator to hot or moving parts, potential of falling, slipping, or other hazardous conditions.

HOSE WHIP

A short length of hose between the tool and the coupler half should be used instead of a rigid mount. This reduces the potential for coupler damage and provides some isolation from mechanical vibration whichcould cause accidental uncoupling.

PRESSURE

When selecting your coupler make sure the published pressure rating is equal to, or greater than, the maximum system pressure. High surge pressure can shorten the life of the coupler.

1. Quick couplers can fail without warning for a variety of reasons. All systems and equipment should be of a fail-safe design to avoid endangering persons and property.

2. Any person responsible for selecting or using quick couplers should read and understand this safety guide as well as specifi c information about product selection.

3. TOMCO and its distributors do not represent or warrant that any quick coupler is suitable for any specifi c end use system. The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the fi nal selection of the products and systems and assuring that all performance, safety, and warning requirements are met.

FLUID AND TEMPERATURE

Body and seal materials of the coupler must be compatible with the fl uid media and ambient temperature both steady and transient. Do not exceed the limits of the coupler.

SIZE

Transmission of power by means of pressurized fl uid varies with pressure and fl ow rate. The size of the coupler must be adequate to keep pressure losses to a minimum and avoid damage due to heat generation or excessive fl uid velocity.

ENVIRONMENT

Environmental conditions including, but not limited to, moisture, water, chemicals, ozone, ultraviolet radiation and air pollutants can cause degradation and premature failure.

SAFETY GUIDE

! WARNINGDO NOT GO NEAR FLUID LEAKS

High pressure leaks of fl uids such as oil easily puncture skin and can cause serious injury, gangrene or death.

If injured, seek emergency medical help. Immediate surgery is required to remove oil. Do not use your fi ngers or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve tool pressure before loosening fi ttings.
