Product Description
🗸 TL172 90° 1/2" BODY X 3/4" NPT FLAT FACE COUPLER SET – A heavy-duty, high-flow hydraulic solution for professional-grade skid steers and compact loaders. Featuring a 90-degree elbow design, this set is engineered to solve complex hose routing challenges while maintaining maximum hydraulic throughput.
🗸 SPACED-SAVING 90° ARCHITECTURE: Specifically designed for tight-clearance bulkheads found on Bobcat and other heavy-duty machinery. The 90-degree bend prevents hose kinking and excessive stress on your hydraulic lines, ensuring your setup remains clean and protected.
🗸 INDUSTRY-LEADING RATING: Built for the toughest jobs, this coupler is rated for over 5076 PSI. It exceeds ISO 16028 standards, providing a high-pressure, leak-free connection that matches or exceeds the durability of your machine’s factory components.
🗸 CLEAN-CONNECT PERFORMANCE: The flush-face interface prevents hydraulic fluid spillage and air inclusion during connection. This design allows for a quick "wipe-and-connect" workflow, keeping abrasive contaminants out of your hydraulic pumps and valves.
🗸 RUGGED ERGONOMICS: Equipped with a push-connect locking sleeve and heavy knurled texturing. This design allows for a secure, non-slip grip, enabling fast, one-handed operation—a vital feature for operators in the field working with thick safety gloves.

Q: Why choose the 90-degree TL172 over a straight coupler?
A: If your machine’s bulkhead or manifold has restricted space, straight couplers often force hoses into tight, sharp bends that lead to early hose failure. The TL172’s 90-degree elbow allows the hoses to exit the coupler smoothly, significantly increasing hose lifespan and keeping your engine bay or bulkhead organized.
Q: Can this coupler handle high-pressure skid steer work?
A: Absolutely. It is a heavy-duty component rated for over 5076 PSI. It is built to endure the same high-pressure pulses and demanding duty cycles as the original equipment on major brands like Bobcat, CAT, John Deere, and more.
Q: How does the flat-face design reduce long-term maintenance costs?
A: By using the ISO 16028 flat-face standard, you eliminate the debris-collecting cavity found in older "poppet-style" couplers. Because the face is flat, you can wipe it perfectly clean before every connection. This single step prevents grit from entering your hydraulic circuit, saving you from premature pump failure and costly repairs.
Q: Does the package include everything I need to get started?
A: Yes. The set includes both the male and female couplings and two durable protective dust caps to keep your hydraulic interface shielded from moisture, dirt, and road grime when your attachments are disconnected.
