Rigid V-Couplings

Used along with machined flanges and resilient, all-metal seals, these couplings are designed for lighter weight aircraft ducting joints in intermediate- to high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

These couplings with flanges and seal are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Voss Low Profile and Standard Profile Couplings are available for ducting sizes from 1.00 through 6.00 inch diameters per AS1895. For larger sizes, consult the factory.

Materials

Coupling halves are provided in either CRES A286 or nickel alloy 718 over the full size range of both profiles, exceeding the specifications of AS1895. The safety latch is nickel alloy 718; all other parts are CRES A286 except the latch drive screws (CRES 305) and eyebolt pin washers (CRES 304). 

Couplings are also available made of aluminum or titanium for light weight and low- to intermediate temperature applications.

Operating Pressures

Operating pressures vary according to tube diameter, materials and operating temperatures. Refer to AS1895.

The nuts furnished with Voss Rigid Couplings are 12-point, self-locking CRES A286. The nut can be supplied silver-plated or with dry film lubrication.

Finish

Unless otherwise specified, Voss Rigid V-Couplings are furnished with the inside surface of both coupling halves coated with baked-on, solid dry film lubricant. A high-temperature anti-seize compound is applied to eyebolt threads.

Weights

Voss Rigid V-Couplings are generally 3-5% less in weight than the maximum allowed by AS1895

Operating Temperatures

-65°F to 1200°F
