Stucchi APM Flat Face Male Coupler Connect Under Pressure (ISO 16028)
Why You Should Be Using APM Male Couplers
Why You Should Be Using APM Male Couplers
If you’ve ever wrestled with hydraulic hoses under pressure, struggled to connect fittings in the field, or lost time (and oil) from messy disconnections — the Stucchi APM Series is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
This is not just a male quick coupler — it’s a field-proven solution for clean, safe, and efficient hydraulic connections where residual pressure is a daily reality. Whether you’re a contractor connecting hydraulic tools, a farmer changing attachments, or an OEM outfitting machinery, APM makes your system smarter and your job easier.
Here’s why it matters:
- The APM Series is engineered for push-to-connect performance even when the male side is pressurised — no need to bleed off pressure or use tools.
- The flat face valve design makes it incredibly easy to clean, protecting your hydraulic circuit from dirt, grit, and contamination.
- The built-in twist-lock sleeve prevents accidental disconnections and keeps your team protected under load.
- These are compact, slimline couplers with nitrided internals and carbon steel construction, ready for life on mobile machinery, ag attachments, and jobsite hydraulics.
From skid steer attachments and sprayers, to power packs, compact machinery, and tool circuits — the APM Series delivers confidence, speed, and performance where others fail.
If your hydraulic gear needs to connect and disconnect often — especially under pressure — you should be running APM.
Because every second counts, and every spill costs.
Choose the type, size, and thread style to suit your setup — BSPP or UNO (O-Ring). Don’t forget to add protective caps to keep your gear clean and damage-free.

- Flat face valve system Minimizes fluid loss, air inclusion, and contamination
- Internal valve design Maintains circuit efficiency with minimal pressure drop
- Black zinc-plated carbon steel Durable, corrosion-resistant body with easy identification
- Compact and modular Slim design for tight space installations and flexible port configurations
- Locking ball + safety sleeve Prevents accidental disconnection under vibration or movement
- Temperature range: -20°C to +100°C
- Working pressure: Up to 350 bar
CONSTRUCTION:
Manufactured from high-resistance carbon steel with a Cr3 surface treatment and precision nitrile (NBR) sealing, the APM Series incorporates a PTFE seal for extrusion resistance under pressure. The internal flat-face valves are hardened to resist brinelling and ensure long life under frequent coupling and uncoupling. The male body is coated in black zinc for rapid visual identification.
