Series: BIR

INTERCHANGE: ISO 7241-1 series “A”

MAIN APPLICATIONS “BIR” is a poppet valve quick

coupling series, interchangeable
• Agricultural equipment with international standard ISO
7241-1 “A”, the series is
• Industrial equipment manufactured in carbon steel with
zinc plated surface treatment.
This series offers worldwide
interchangeability and the
availability of a wide range of sizes
from 1/4” thru 2”.
This makes the “BIR” series one of
the most widely used in a range
of hydraulic applications mainly in
agricultural and industrial fields.

• Valve system: Poppet valve • Surface treatment: CrIII zinc plated
• Mechanical connection: Locking balls • Springs: C72 steel
• Connection system: Pulling back the sleeve and • Balls: Hard steel 100 C6
pushing one half towards the other • Seals: standard in NBR (Nitrile)
• Disconnection system: Pulling back the sleeve • Seals on request: VITON
• Connection with residual pressure: Not allowed • Anti-extrusion rings: PTFE
• Disconnection with residual pressure: Not allowed
• Threads available: BSP, NPT
• On request: Free flow version (no valving)

Single acting sleeve:

Connection and
High number of locking disconnection by pulling
balls to reduce the back the sleeve
“brinelling” effect
Hardened surface area
to reduce the
“brinelling” effect

PTFE anti-extrusion ring to avoid

premature wearing of O-Ring
Poppet valves

Valves with swaged seal to

prevent extrusion at high
flow rates

BENEFITS
• The poppet valve with elastomer seal provides maximum sealing of the couplings when disconnected.
• Shape of internal parts is designed to reduce turbulence and pressure drop.
• Compact slim design.
• Simple to use.

HOW TO USE
• Before connecting clean the mating parts of the couplings to avoid contamination in the circuit.
• To couple pull back the sleeve of the female coupling, align the female with the male coupling and push one
into the other until both halves are fully connected and release the sleeve.
• To uncouple pull back the sleeve of the female coupling, pull out the mating half.

WARNING!
• Do not couple-uncouple with flow and/or pressure in the circuit.
• Use protection whenever connecting or disconnecting with high temperature (max. allowed 80°C, 176 °F).
• When the couplings are disconnected, it is suggested to use the protection caps.

PROTECTION CAPS FOR BIR, SERIES

IR-V & IR SERIES

Protective caps are always recommended to protect the couplings from damage or dirt inclusion, and increase the
product life. This is particularly important in mobile applications where contamination can enter the coupling and
compromise the function. The caps for BIR, IR-V and IR series are manufactured in PVC rubber and they are avail-
able in several colors.
