Ocak said that as more vehicle subsystems rely on heating and cooling, more fluid lines and more connections must be made with large diameter quick connectors, increasing musculoskeletal risk for workers. The new connectors are easier to install.

An additional feature of the connectors is an optional verifier tab that allows operators or automatic systems to confirm that a proper connection has been made. The tab features a customizable QR code that only becomes visible when the end-piece has been correctly inserted into the connector.

ARaymond also offers customized connectors in a variety of diameters, angles and shapes. It’s even possible to integrate fluid management elements, such as valves or sensors.
