HG Series Couplings

HG-004 Automotive Refueling couplings for Gaseous Hydrogen

The Walther HG-004 high pressure refueling coupling was the first coupling worldwide manufactured and tested according to the SAE J2600 standard for refueling motor vehicles using gaseous hydrogen up to 10,150psi working pressure. In order to meet the demands required of the high pressure motor vehicle refueling application, the patented HG-004 coupling system uses a newly developed valve technique, special seal qualities and a new locking system. Connection and disconnection of the coupling requires a simple one handed "push-pull" operation.

Although new in design, the HG-004 high pressure adapter (vehicle side) is compatible with the lower pressure couplings (fuel side) found at many filling stations supplying gaseous hydrogen.

HG-006 Break-away

The HG-006 coupling is a 6mm bore, inline break-away coupling manufactured of stainless steel and special alloys. Pressure balanced design ensures the break away force is virtually unaffected by the internal pressure. The spherical mounting surface allows the coupling to align with the filling hose. With a maximum working pressure of 10,150 (700bar), this HG series coupling system is a top performer.
