Why not this set? No tools and screws on.

I use something like those for my porta power. Will connect under pressure.

What is the flow rate?
They leak a little when disconnected attracting dirt and are hard to keep clean.

Flat face connectors common with construction equipment. Easy to keep clean and flow to bigger hydraulic components.

I have 7 pairs of flat face quick couplers on equipment that is shared. So cost is a concern. Plus other connectors that need help sometimes.

Had a winged screw together under pressure quick couplers for a Kubota trencher boom. Nice but special order, 3-4x$$ of flat face QC.

Many options to sort to find what works best for you.

I have flat faced couplers for the backhoe and unless the pressure is practically zero, it’s impossible to couple them. Implements often builds pressure in the sun by a slight amount which isn’t a problem at all with the Summit couplers. To keep the ends clean, I simply screw the implement ends together. On the tractor, there are dust covers that I use.

It’s rated for 10,000 psi. I don’t know the flow rate but there was no difference when I switched.

I really appreciate this. This looks like just the solution I've been looking for. Thank you!!!

Only way Id ever consider flat face couplers are the ones designed to actually connect under pressure
