Product Description
TL20-F #8 JIC Thread Female Flat Face Quick Connect Hydraulic Coupler (1/2" Body)
The TL20-F is an industrial-strength, flat-face hydraulic coupler engineered for high-performance use on skid steers and attachments. Designed to exceed ISO 16028 standards, this coupler provides a secure, high-pressure connection while minimizing hydraulic fluid loss and contamination—a critical advantage in demanding field environments.
🗸 Heavy-Duty Industrial Rating: Built to withstand rugged conditions, these couplers are rated for over 5076 PSI.
🗸 Universal Flat Face Compatibility: Designed to couple with any standard 1/2" body Flat Face hydraulic system, making it an ideal replacement for a wide range of equipment including Bobcat, John Deere, CAT, Kubota, New Holland, CASE, JCB, and more.
🗸 Precision Locking Mechanism: Features a push-connect locking sleeve with heavy knurling to ensure a non-slip, secure grip, even when wearing heavy safety gloves.
🗸 Spillage Prevention: The Flat Face design minimizes hydraulic fluid loss upon disconnection and prevents air inclusion, keeping your machine's hydraulic fluid clean.
🗸 Corrosion Resistance: Finished with trivalent zinc plating to provide a robust barrier against rust, moisture, and environmental degradation.
🗸 Integrated Protection: Each unit includes a high-quality protective dust cap to shield the interface from debris when the coupler is not in use.

Q: Will this fit my older Bobcat model?
A: This coupler is designed for many older Bobcat models (2001 or older), specifically including the 440, 440B, 443, and 453. Please note that many of these older machines have been upgraded to the modern industry-standard Flat Face couplers.
Q: Are these "Flat Face" or "Poppet" style?
A: These are Flat Face (ISO 16028) couplers. They are distinct from the ball-detent (Poppet) AG-style couplers. The Flat Face design is preferred for applications where keeping the system clean and minimizing spillage is a priority.
Q: Can I use this on a machine with AG-Style (Poppet) couplers?
A: No. Flat Face and AG-Style (Poppet) couplers are not interchangeable. You must match the style of your machine's female ports exactly.
Q: Why is the Flat Face design beneficial?
A: The main advantage is cleanliness and environmental protection. Because the interface is flush, it is very easy to wipe clean before connection, preventing dirt from entering the hydraulic system. It also results in minimal fluid loss during disconnection.
