Connect instantly to leak and pressure testing with WEH® Quick Connect TW17Modular WEH® Connector for manual, semi or fully automatic pressure and function tests. The WEH® TW17 Quick Connector is fastest quick connector, thus simplifying manufacturing processes, improving efficiency and increasing productivity assuring safe, reliable and leak tight connections. Within seconds components with internal thread, i.e. engines, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses etc. can easily be function and pressure tested from vacuum up to max. 350 bar using the WEH® TW17 series. No twist - no turn, no wrenching. Just place the WEH® Quick Connector into the internal threaded port of the test piece. Great choice of actuation possibilities: manual hand lever, pneumatically with valve head (thumb valve), pneumatically for external fully automatic control systems. Easy change of actuation from manual hand lever to pneumatic actuation with valve head by simply unscrewing the rear part of the WEH® TW17 Quick Connector and replacing the chosen actuation. Made of high-grade corrosion resistant stainless steel, the WEH® TW17 fits internal threads from 1/8" to 2".

WEH® TW17 | Product BenefitsThe WEH® TW17 is ideally suited for pneumatic and hydraulic pressure tests and functions tests on internally threaded components, i.e. engines, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses, fittings, etc. The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself into the thread of the test piece and provides a pressure-tight connection in seconds.

WEH® TW17 | Actuation PossibilitiesThe WEH® TW17 Quick Connector is designed for sealing standardized internal thread applications. The TW17 Quick Coupling is available with different actuations: Manually with hand lever, pneumatically with valve head and pneumatically for external manual, semi or fully automatic control systems. Special versions, e.g. connectors in longer or shorter versions, as a plug or with hydraulic actuation etc. are possible.
The WEH® TW17H connector is the perfect tool for pressure, function and vacuum testing during production and rated for pressure up to max. 350 bar. The safe and pressure-tight connection to standardised female threads is established in just seconds – without tedious hand tightening.
No additional thread sealants are required, time-consuming and expensive clamping and testing devices are eliminated. The manual actuation via hand lever is very easy. Only actuate the hand lever and place the TW17H loosely into the test piece. On frequent connection and disconnection considerable time and cost savings are achieved.
Bores have been added as standard to the clamping jaws for body sizes 5 – 6 of the connector for increased media flow and enhanced productivity.
The quick connector is available for low pressure up to 50 bar and high pressure up to 350 bar. For automated applications with pneumatic actuation we offer the TW17V with valve button and the TW17P for fully automatic control systems.
Special versions such as e.g. longer or shorter versions, plug versions or versions for hydraulic actuation etc. are also possible.
