alphaCLICK 2 coupling
alphaCLICK 2 permits the easy, quick and safe connection of the compressed air
cylinders to the pressure reducer. Time-consuming screwing-on of the cylinder is
no longer required since the cylinder is simply slotted into the pressure reducer.
alphaCLICK 2 is safer than the usual standard connection:
•alphaCLICK 2 cannot be disconnected when the system is pressurised.
•Two steps are required to disconnect it: the cylinder can only be removed
when the safety ring has been turned through 20 degrees and pushed
back.
•alphaCLICK 2 has no built-in flow restrictor.
•Moreover, alphaCLICK 2 has a flat face design which keeps the
components clean and operative.
alphaCLICK 2 fits all standard breathable air valve threads [EN 144-2].
alphaCLICK 2 is only available for 300 bar.
