Quick Coupling RQS Type 26 13 mm — RQS REC 26KATF13

Quick coupling RQS Type 26 with 13 mm nominal size, model REC 26KATF13 by RQS is a mechanical quick-disconnect coupling intended for fast connection and disconnection of 13 mm lines or hoses. Designed for compact installations, this Type 26 coupling supports pneumatic and low‑pressure fluid transfer systems where a reliable, space-efficient connection is needed. The coupling is commonly used in maintenance work, machine hookups and quick-change tool or hose applications.

Advantages

The coupling provides rapid connection and release with minimal tool requirement, reducing downtime during hose or tool changes. Its compact Type 26 form factor saves space in confined assemblies and simplifies routing of 13 mm lines. The design is suitable for repeated use and supports consistent sealing performance in low‑pressure pneumatic or fluid systems.

Suitable for

• Pneumatic systems with 13 mm lines
• Low‑pressure fluid transfer applications
• Machine hookups and maintenance tasks
• Quick‑change tools and hose assemblies

Key specifications

• Nominal size: 13 mm
• Coupling type: Compact Type 26 quick coupling
• Intended media: Pneumatic air and low‑pressure fluids
• Connection action: Mechanical quick‑disconnect
• Typical uses: Repeated connection/disconnection cycles for maintenance and tool changes

How to use

Align the coupling halves and push together until the mechanical latch engages; verify the connection by a tactile or audible click where applicable. To disconnect, depress the release sleeve or mechanism and pull the halves apart while controlling residual pressure in the line. Ensure that the system pressure is within the permissible range for low‑pressure applications before operating the coupling and inspect seals and mating surfaces for contamination or damage prior to repeated use.

Usage recommendations

Use the coupling in systems with compatible 13 mm hose or pipe fittings and confirm that operating pressure and fluid type are suitable for low‑pressure pneumatic or fluid transfer. Regularly inspect sealing elements and connections for wear, and avoid exposure to media or temperatures outside the coupling’s designed range.
