    Modular 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".

    The 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.
Description
WEH® Connector TW17P for testing of components with female thread, pneumatic actuation, vacuum up to max. 350 bar - Product family

The WEH® TW17P connector is the perfect tool for automated 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 pneumatic actuation for external manual, semi or fully automatic control systems is effected via an external valve. On frequent connection and disconnection considerable time and cost savings are achieved thanks to the automation.

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 manual actuation we offer the TW17H with hand lever, for pneumatic applications the TW17V with valve button is the right choice.

Special versions such as e.g. longer or shorter versions, plug versions or versions for hydraulic actuation etc. are also possible.
