containing and properly disposing of
hydraulic uid
• Increasing equipment uptime – prevent
unplanned machinery downtime and forced
stops due to leaks and insu cient pressure
• Not contaminating the ground you work on –
agricultural processes must preserve the soil
and water which are productive resources
• Eliminating external contamination of quick
couplers – eliminating the gap in between the
male and female couplers prevents damage
due to accumulation of pollutants
Leak-free at face couplers are proven to
provide these bene ts to production
performance as well as contributing to
environmentally sustainable practices. is
is a cause that Stucchi strongly believes in
and supports with innovative, e cient
hydraulic quick coupling solutions. e
company is committed to research and
development, providing new ideas and
rst-to-market products which provide
important advantages to our customers.
Stucchi Flat Face Series A, Firg,
APM, FL, together with Flat Face Screw
Series VEP, VP and VEP-HD o er the
best connection solutions in the most
severe conditions providing e ciency,
safety and performance combined with
no-spill technology to minimize
environment contamination.
Stucchi has been a leading global
supplier of e cient hydraulic quick
couplings for 60 years, with its at face
coupler design meeting ISO 16028 standards
since 1999. ey are certi ed to ISO9001:
2015 and UNI EN ISO 14001, providing

The choice of
the correct quick
couplings for hydraulic
systems can improve
eco-friendly practices
RIGHT: The VP-P triple valve system
allows connection of the coupling
safely even in presence of high
internal residual pressure and at
the same time avoiding fl uid loss.
The safety sleeve integrated in
the connection system prevents
accidental disconnection making
the VP-P series ideal for the most
extreme operating conditions
LEFT: Firg is the original series for
fl at face quick couplings; designed in
1983 by Stucchi, the Firg series has
been immediately acknowledged as an
important innovation in couplings. It is
being used in many applications and has
become the reference for the ISO 16028
international standard
