The Oetiker Swing Coupling is a unique Quick Connect safety coupling designed to improve the efficiency and safety of compressed air lines.

The main advantage of the Oetiker SC Coupling are that it is designed for full flow, increasing compressor efficiency by up to 18 %.

It is applicable to various media, both gases and liquids, including breathing air.

The unit is compatible with PCL, Rectus, Cejn and many other coupling manufacturers, for ease of installation.

The design ensures that connection and disconnection are free of pressure and compressed air blasts (ISO4414 Section 9.6).

It has a robust design - with heat treated casing and simple design the Swing Coupling can remain leak free for several times longer than competitors' couplings.

These features combine to reduce operating costs via compressor energy savings, leakage savings and less maintenance time due to the couplings extended life.

Further to this, Oetiker couplings are fully certified and comply with ISO4414 (Sect 9.6) in that 'when they are coupled or uncoupled the coupling must not be forced apart in a hazardous manner' and 'compressed air or particles shall not be expelled in a hazardous manner'.
