WEH® Leak Test Quick Connector TW18V for vacuum and pressure testing up to max. 350 bar


The WEH® TW18V connector is the perfect tool for automated pressure, function and vacuum testing during production and rated for pressures up to max. 350 bar. The safe and pressure-tight connection to standardised male threads is established in just seconds – without tedious hand tightening.

No additional thread sealants are required, time-consuming and expensive clamping and testing devices are eliminated. The pneumatic actuation is very easy and requires only little effort. Simply press the valve button and place the connector loosely into the test piece. On frequent connection and disconnection considerable time and cost savings are achieved thanks to automated processes.

The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself onto the test piece port thus providing added safety for operators.

The quick connector is available for low pressure up to 50 bar and high pressure up to 350 bar. For manual actuation the TW18H with hand lever is available and for pneumatic applications the TW18P for fully automatic control systems is the right choice.
