Series FC

Flat Face Push-to-Connect Couplings of the FC series from STAUFF (as successor of the FU series) consist of a male tip which is designed according to ISO 16028 and are compatible with couplings of this type. In combination with Female Bodies of the STAUFF FF series, Male Tips of the FC Series are used to quick and easy connection (push) and disconnection of tubes, pipes and hoses by hand, i.e. without tools. The Series was developed for coupling under pressure and is available in the following nominal sizes 10, 12, 16, 19, 25 (3/8“ - 1“).

Buy Flat Face push-in couplings from the QRC FC series from STAUFF in the online shop

The Flat Face Push-to-Connect Couplings from the STAUFF QRC FC series are specially developed coupling plugs for coupling under pressure. In conjunction with the FF series coupling sleeves, they enable safe, fast and tool-free connection and disconnection of tube and hose lines in hydraulic systems - even at high residual pressures. The QRC-FC series is robust, durable and fulfils the requirements of the ISO 16028 standard, making it ideal for use in demanding conditions, especially in mobile machines and hydraulic attachments.

Materials and surfaces

The QRC-FC series coupling plugs are made of high-quality steel and are designed for a long service life and high load capacity. The additional zinc/nickel surface coating ensures reliable corrosion protection - even in adverse weather conditions or in continuous outdoor use.

  • Steel: resistant material for high mechanical loads

  • Zinc/nickel coating:effective protection against rust and surface corrosion

  • Flat Face design: prevents leaks and air ingress into the hydraulic circuit

Product variants and sizes

The QRC-FC series was specially developed for coupling under pressure and covers common nominal sizes for mobile hydraulic applications. The coupling plugs can be easily combined with coupling sleeves from the FF series - even with residual pressure.

Available are

  • Nominal sizes: 10, 12, 16, 19, 25 (3/8" to 1")

  • Operating pressure: up to 350 bar (5076 PSI) in combination with FF sockets

  • Residual pressure couplable: up to 250 bar (3626 PSI) on the connector side

  • ISO 16028: Interchangeability with standard flat-face couplings

Applications and areas of use

The Flat Face Push-to-Connect Couplings in the QRC-FC series are used wherever quick and safe coupling is required under pressure - especially on mobile machines with frequently changing attachments. They are a central component of modern hydraulic systems for both indoor and outdoor use.

Typical applications:

  • Construction machinery and equipment

  • Agricultural and forestry machinery

  • Hydraulic attachments

  • Stationary hydraulics with alternating connections

Advantages and unique selling points

The QRC-FC coupling plugs impress with their technical precision, easy handling and reliability - even under demanding conditions. Thanks to their compatibility with the FF series couplers, they offer maximum flexibility combined with high operational reliability.

  • Couplable under residual pressure up to 250 bar

  • Flat Face design for clean and low-leakage connections

  • Tool-free coupling with one-hand operation

  • ISO 16028 Interchangeability with commercially available systems

  • High pressure resistance and reliable operation up to 350 bar

  • Corrosion-resistant surface thanks to zinc/nickel coating

  • Optimised flow with minimal pressure loss

  • Compatible with coupling sleeves from the STAUFF FF series

Certifications and standards

The STAUFF QRC-FC Push-to-Connect Couplings comply with the international standard ISO 16028, which defines Flat Face hydraulic couplings with a standardised design. This guarantees a high level of interchangeability with other flat face systems on the market.
