OUR VERDICT
A full-flow straight-thru coupler for lines where pressure drop matters more than shut-off: hydraulic test ports, high-flow air, water and fluid transfer. Shut the supply off before disconnecting. Pair it with a Foster FST plug of the same body size.
WHAT WE LIKE
- Made in the USA by Foster, heavy-duty industrial grade
- Full-bore flow, no valve to restrict the line
- Brass body resists corrosion in water and chemical service
- Manual sleeve, simple and rebuildable
WORTH NOTING
- No shut-off: the line is open when disconnected
- Only couples with same-size straight-thru plugs
