This XHP-style
quick coupler plug is designed for use with machines that
have pressures of 5000 PSI. The ball groove has a radius instead
of an angle. The radius mates with balls in the matching XHP
coupler socket. The balls in the XHP coupler socket are larger
in diameter than the balls used in the industry standard coupler
socket. This larger ball seating in the mating radius resists
peening of the plug. This peening occurs when the gun trigger
is pulled and the pressure forces the plug against the coupler
balls. This peening is what destroys the coupler plug. This
plug is of the highest quality made, being machined from 316
stainless steel and is highly corrosive resistant. This plug
will not fit any socket except the XHP. These coupler sockets
and plugs were installed onto 5000 PSI hoses. The reason being
so that hoses of lower pressure ratings could not accidentally
be coupled to a 5000 PSI machine. The plug can be identified
by a V groove cut into the hex portion of the plug & socket.
