OMEGA’s High Flow Coupling Series has flow comparable to many ¹⁄₂" nominal flow couplings in a ³⁄₈" body size. Small body size and light weight, these single or double end shutoff couplings have a large flow capacity. They replace bulky, heavy brass or stainless steel couplings in many applications.
