Parker Pneumatic has further extended its industry standard Schrader Range of quick acting pneumatic couplers with the introduction of the Euro Series. To simplify selection of appropriate couplings for specific applications, Parker Pneumatic has also produced a FREE Coupling Form Tool or profile gauge. This enables users to select units from the Schrader Range to interchange with those from other manufacturers.
The self-sealing quick acting pneumatic coupling - also known as the Check Unit and Adapter - was originated by the Schrader Company and became an indispensable item of equipment for industrial compressed air systems.
Over the years, the Schrader Check Unit and Adapter has become a 'customer point of reference', most competitive units being referred to as 'Schrader' units.
The new Euro Series couplings complement this famous brand product, which continues in production, today, as the Schrader Original Standard and Heavy-Duty units in Parker Pneumatic's Schrader Range.
The original Schrader design was imitated around the world, resulting in a wide variety of adapter profiles developed to suit local markets.
In recent years, the 'Industry Interchangeable Profile' has become widely accepted.
Parker Pneumatic's complete Schrader Range includes the Schrader Original Standard and Heavy-Duty Series, the Intercheck 35 and 55 series, and the Mini and Euro Series.
