Residual Pressure Couplers

[kcoburn]

I have a grapple for my loader that gives me fits making the connections. These old hands aren't up to pulling back the sleeves and forcing the couplers together.Hate getting the dowel and hammer and spraying the oil all over. I've looked all over the suppliers' web sites and found only one potential solution that doesn't require half of my monthly SS check. I have Pioneer Ag connectors-8010 series. Pioneer lists a "Decompression Nipple" in this series, item but they don't sell it retail here in the corn belt (deals with major ag mfrs). The item is #PA8010-4P-DC.
Anyone know how I can get them? Will these solve my problem?

Get yourself some wing style quick couplers. FB series in pressure componets and there are many interchanges out there. CJ

Since Parker owns Pioneer, do you have any Parker houses in your area? Not sure where you are at in Eastern Iowa but possibly try a Motion Industries or Iowa Fluid Power based in Cedar Rapids. Neither of these are Parker but they may have an interchange.
