Pressure Balanced Weak Link Couplings

An optional internal valving system also ensures minimal fluid loss on disconnection, with products incorporating either a double valve (in both male and female halves), single valve (in either male or female half) or unvalved design as required.

Alongside the standard coupling design, FES has developed a deep water Pressure Balanced Weak Link Coupling. This product provides the same high quality and precise operation of the standard product, but is designed in order to operate in deep water environments, negating the effects of external pressure on the activation of the coupling.
