April 22 may be when we celebrate Earth Day, but many Parker products keep sustainability top of mind year-round!

Did you know that more than 700 million gallons of petroleum products leak into the environment every year? Not only is this devastating for the environment, but it can also take a toll on your business's time, safety, and budget. Parker's Quick Coupling Division, the largest manufacturer of quick connect fittings in the world, is working to combat this statistic. They provide reliable solutions for the most demanding applications and strive to create clean policies and sustainable technologies for the hydraulic industry.

One group of products helping to improve sustainability is Parker's selection of flat face quick couplings. Chances are, the equipment you use already utilizes some type of coupling system. However, Parker's quick connect couplings have the advantage over many of the other hydraulic couplings on the market.

Flat face quick connects are designed to lock in fluids during connection and disconnection, reducing spillage and making hoses more secure and reliable. As a result, your workplace and the environment are cleaner. This in turn reduces cleanup time, improves workplace safety, and saves your business costs associated with spills, such as water remediation costs. The flat-face valve also minimizes inclusion from air and contaminants entering the system, helping to conserve resources and reduce materials costs.

In addition to reducing leakage, quick connects and disconnects are easy to use and provide the ideal solution to complicated assemblies. Secure connections reduce downtime associated with replacing parts and cleaning spills, and the quality construction and rugged materials make parts durable enough to withstand harsh working conditions and repeated connections and disconnections without failure. Overall, flat face quick connects help your business to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, meet durability and safety needs, and comply with industry regulations.

If your equipment has hydraulic or pneumatic lines that are connected and disconnected frequently, flat face quick connect fittings provide a clear advantage over the competitors. Regardless of industry, we know you don't have time for connectivity problems. We keep your business moving with industry-leading brands that are paving the way forward in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
