Product Description
🗸 TL171 90° 1/2" BODY X 3/8" NPT FLAT FACE COUPLER SET – A high-flow, industrial-grade hydraulic set engineered for tight-space installations. Featuring a 90-degree elbow configuration, this set is perfect for managing hose routing on bulkheads where straight couplers would cause excessive strain or kinking.
🗸 MANIFOLD OPTIMIZATION: The 90-degree elbow design is essential for equipment like Bobcat skid steers, where manifold space is restricted. By providing a clean right-angle turn, this coupler reduces hose stress and keeps your hydraulic lines neatly organized and protected.
🗸 HEAVY-DUTY INDUSTRIAL RATING: Rated for over 5076 PSI, this coupler is built to withstand extreme pressure spikes and rugged field use. It is a true industrial-strength component designed to match the durability of your machine’s factory hydraulic circuits.
🗸 ISO 16028 FLUSH FACE TECHNOLOGY: Minimizes fluid spillage and eliminates air inclusion, ensuring your system remains efficient and contamination-free. The flat surface is remarkably easy to wipe clean, keeping abrasive grit out of your system.
🗸 FIELD-READY ERGONOMICS: Equipped with a push-connect locking sleeve and heavy knurling for a secure, non-slip grip. You can safely connect and disconnect your attachments in seconds, even while wearing thick work gloves or working in low-light conditions.

Q: Why choose a 90-degree elbow coupler like the TL171?
A: When mounting couplers on a skid steer bulkhead, straight couplers often force hoses into sharp, damaging bends. The TL171’s 90-degree design allows for a natural hose arc, which significantly reduces the risk of hose failure, kinking, and premature stress on your hydraulic ports.
Q: Is this coupler rated for heavy-duty industrial work?
A: Absolutely. It is rated for over 5076 PSI, making it ideal for the high-pressure environments common with modern skid steers and attachments. It is built to be a reliable, long-term replacement for standard OEM equipment.
Q: How does the flat-face design help with cleanliness?
A: Unlike poppet-style couplers that have an internal cavity that collects dirt, the TL171’s flat face allows you to clean the entire sealing surface before connection. This ensures that no debris is forced into your machine's hydraulic fluid, which is vital for preventing the "silting" or clogging that leads to pump and valve failure.
Q: Does the set include everything I need to get started?
A: Yes, it includes both the male and female couplings and two protective dust caps. These caps are vital for keeping the couplers pristine when attachments are disconnected in the field, protecting them from mud, water, and road grit.
