NORMA Group has developed a new plastic quick connector – NORMAQUICK SSL – for use on fuel and urea systems in passenger, commercial and agriculture vehicles, as well as in heavy equipment.
Responding to the customers’ growing needs for ease of assembly, the NORMAQUICK SSL quick connector features a secondary latch, which serves both as an installation aid and allows service personnel to disassemble the connection quickly.
NORMA Group’s quick connectors are characterised by a primary ‘click’ sound when installed correctly. The latch cannot be moved into the closed position until the quick connector is installed properly onto the mating spigot. The secondary latch of the NORMAQUICK SSL provides an additional level of security. During installation, the operator has to press the latch to hear another ‘click’, which verifies the connection. If the NORMAQUICK SSL needs to be disassembled for maintenance and service, the operator can easily access the connector and disengage the connection by pressing the latch from the same side that the first one had been engaged.
The NORMAQUICK SSL can be used on both plastic and metal spigots designed per SAE J2044 specification. Made of recyclable materials it features extremely low permeation values. The NORMAQUICK SSL comes as standard in 0° and 90° versions – with special versions also available upon request. The connector will be produced in NORMA’s US manufacturing facility in St. Clair, Michigan.
