RMI quick-release coupling

Temperature control
7 nominal diameters...
... for any flow
Wide range
7 nominal diameters from 1/4" to 1 1/4", to
cover all your applications.
Safe and quick locking
A large number of locking balls or pins
depending on the models.The long locking
ring – knurled up to RMI 16 – with a
wide flange from RMI 20 – provides easy
handling for quick and easy connection /
disconnection.
Reliable and tough
The choice of materials (brass, stainless
steel and chromium steel) makes RMI
couplings robust and dependable.
Performance
Their internal design gives RMI couplings
an excellent flow / pressure drop ratio
with optimum flow and compact overall
dimensions.
From RMI 20:
Applications
Leak tight during connection ● Hot and cold water, glycol water
The long profile of the plug ensures a and heat transfer fluid circuits
perfect leak tight connection. ● Temperature control on injection
presses
Immediate visual circuit identification
Red and blue rings provide quick and easy
identification of your hot and cold water
circuits.

KES sealing kit Construction

KES sealing kits consist of a retaining
ring and an O-ring to create a perfect seal
between the socket or the plug and its
base.
Presence of KES symbols, before thread

Male cylindrical GAS
couplings and plugs are supplied as
standard with a KES sealing kit.

Working temperatures

Types of seal Code Minimum and maximum allowable temperatures TS (°F)

RMI 06 to RMI 16: +59 and +392
Fluorocarbon (FPM) JV as standard
RMI 20 to RMI 37: +14 and +392
RMI 06 to RMI 16: +14 and +302
Ethylene-Propylene* (EPDM) JE
RMI 20 to RMI 37: -4 and +302
Nitrile (NBR) no code -5 and +212
Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) in the fluid jet JKV +32 et +482
* Important ! Never use Ethylene-Propylene seals with fluids of mineral origin (oil, fat etc…). Other pressures and fluids: please contact us.

Recommandation: the working temperatures and pressures are given for the Stäubli plug/socket set alone. It is essential to ensure that
the other components of the circuit (hoses, end connections…) are also appropriate for the application.

Additional equipment
RMI 09 bridge pieces A bridge is composed of:
● 2 RMI 09.1000/RE/JV sockets
● 1 rigid tube R 113 910 00
(length 1 meter)
Tube preparation
Tube length L = (nominal distance
between centres - 0.79) ± 0.02
E.g.: for a nominal distance of 3.94 inches:
L =(3.94 - 0.79) ± 0.02 = 3.15 ± 0.02

Machining of the ends

For an even more increased rationalization
of your assemblies:
● reduction in the number of flow meters
and reduced size
● ease of maintenance and flexibility of
assembly

Options
Sealing
Ethylene-Propylene (EPDM), Nitrile (NBR)
and Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) seals are
available on all models.
Replace the code JV by the corresponding
code in the socket and plug part numbers:
● JE: Ethylene-Propylene seals
● no code: Nitrile seals
● JKV: Perfluoroelastomer seals (in the
fluid jet).
