Non-Drip / Double shut off plugs and couplings. One of the biggest upgrades you can make to your equipment.
Based on Rectus Parker 48 series but upgraded for softwashing use with Viton seals and protective shroud.
Max pressure: 15 Bar
When you disconnect them, no water or chemical will exit the plug or coupling – which keeps your van and work clothes dry.
They impart another level of safety.
The plugs are fitted to your WFP (Water Fed Pole) by a hose barb, or screwed onto a spray lance or trigger. When connected to a NDC (Non-Drip Coupling) the valve inside the plug will open allowing the free movement of fluid. When disconnected the valve automatically closes.
Ben added these Non-Drip Plugs to all his equipment, from WFP hose to trigger and lance connections.
He has a NDP with 1/4" / 6mm hose tail on all of his water fed poles which use 5mm ID pole hose
He has a NDP with 3/8" / 8mm hose tail on his whip-ends (a whip-end is a lighter, smaller diameter short piece of hose) from his 1/2" / 12.5mm ID soft wash hose to his trigger or lance.
He has a NDP with 3/8" BSP thread on all his triggers and lances as these normally use a BSP fitting.
The Non-Drip Plugs and couplings are universal with only the hose tails being different. This means that a Non-Drip Plug fitted with 1/4" / 6mm whose tail will work with a Non-Drip Coupling fitted with a 1/2" / 12.5mm hose tail.
Quick tip: "ID" means "Inside Diameter". In this context it relates to the inside diameter of the hose that the plug or coupling is fitted to.
They will not leak even with a pump turned on and will only let fluid pass when they are connected to a non-drip plug. The plugs attach to your WFP, spray lance or trigger, which pushes into the coupling.
One side of these Non-Drip Couplings (NDC) is fitted with a hose tail for easy attachment to your hose.
Ben added these to all of his hose reels so that he has safe drip-free connections for both soft washing and window cleaning.
He has a 1/2" / 12.5mm NDC on his soft washing hose reel because he uses 1/2" / 12.5mm ID (Inside Diameter) hose for soft washing.
He has a 3/8" / 8mm NDC on his window cleaning hose reel because he uses 3/8" / 8mm ID size hose for window cleaning.
Quick tip: Some window cleaners like to use 1/4" / 6mm ID hose on their hose reels. This is why we have made the 1/4" / 6mm NDC available.
Ben tested these plugs and couplings to destruction to be sure they are up to the high standards we demand from everything we sell.
