WEO Couplings
they seem to becoming a mainstream coupling for some manafacturers, altho, i havnt met too many people to say good words about them.
but im speaking more from the Quicke use of them.
any views on them?

The WEO plug-in is a new type of coupling that are self locking, thus negating the need for spanners and torque wrenches to connect or disconnect them. This makes it easier to build more compact and reliable hydraulic systems and design, particularly in applications where space is often very limited. Quick and easy to connect and disconnect, the Weo plug-in swivels freely which eliminates the stresses that can arise during installation and therefore extend the life of the hose. The Weo coupling is now fitted by leading original equipment manufacturers benefiting from its quick and easy connect and disconnect feature.
The Weo plug-in coupling has been tested by the Swedish Institute of Materials Testing and Research to SS-ISO 8032, half Omega test. The working pressure for all couplings between 1/4" and 3/4" is 350 bar, while 1" couplings are rated at 250 bar. A safety factor of at least 4:1 between burst pressure and working pressure applies to all sizes.
Temperature range -30ºC to +100ºC (short exposure +120ºC)
Applications: Palfinger Cranes, Komatsu earth moving equipment (servo hoses), Quickie Loaders
