  Guillemin Fittings?

  Guillemin fittings, commonly referred to as Guillemin couplings or French Guillemin links, are symmetrical quick-connect coupling systems widely used in industrial fittings applications. Both halves of the coupling are identical, making them versatile and easy to use in demanding environments

  Originating as the French standard for tank connections and fluid transfer, these industrial fittings excel in both pumping and suction operations for liquids, viscous fluids, powders, and granules. Qruck specializes in manufacturing top-tier Guillemin fittings in stainless steel, aluminum, and other high-performance materials to meet global standards like EN 14420-8 and NF E 29-572.
  
  Guillemin coupling was also refered to Symmetrical half coupling,or French coupling.The symmetrical design ensure the same ends on both ends of the hose,and the collar prevent hose blow-off.It is widely used in France and in Belgium to couple fire hoses.
  Qruck's Guillemin coupling are available with serrated / helical hosetail, male / female threads,or cap / dust plug.

• 

• Superior Materials and Construction

  Qruck Guillemin fittings are available in premium materials including:

  • Stainless Steel (SS304/SS316): Excellent corrosion resistance for chemical, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
  • Aluminum (A356-T6, 6061-T6): Lightweight yet strong, ideal for mobile and tanker applications.
  • Brass and other alloys upon request.

  These industrial fittings support sizes from DN50 (2") to DN150 (6"), with working pressures up to 16 bar (240 PSI). Smooth internal surfaces minimize product buildup, while precision engineering ensures leak-proof performance.

• 

• Compliance and Durability

  Compliant with French NF E-29572 and European EN14420-8 standards. Qruck's manufacturing process involves casting, forging, and CNC machining for exceptional quality and longevity. Sealing options include NBR, EPDM, FPM, and PTFE for compatibility with various media.

  Applications of Guillemin Industrial Fittings

  Guillemin couplings are indispensable across numerous industries due to their reliability and ease of use:

  Fluid Transfer and Tanker Operations

  Perfect for connecting hoses to tanker trucks, silos, and bulk transport systems. Ideal for water, hydrocarbons, chemicals, and powders.

  Civil Engineering and Construction

  Used with pumps, concrete mixers, and heavy equipment for water and slurry handling.

  Food and Pharmaceutical Industries

  Stainless steel Guillemin fittings ensure hygienic, easy-to-clean connections for food processing and sensitive materials.

  Firefighting and Emergency Services

  Reliable performance in high-pressure water transfer scenarios.

  Other Sectors

  • Agriculture and irrigation
  • Chemical processing
  • Mining and abrasive material handling
  • Marine and ship-to-shore operations

• Types of Qruck Guillemin Couplings

  Guillemin Coupling with Hose Shank

  Designed for secure hose connections. Available in aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. Features locking ring for quick, tool-free assembly.

  Guillemin Reducer Coupling
  

  Allows connection between different diameters (e.g., 80mm to 50mm). Essential for system compatibility in complex setups.

  Guillemin Adapters, Blank Caps, and More

  Qruck offers a full range including male/female threaded versions, adapters, and protective caps for complete system solutions.

  How Do Guillemin Fittings Work?

  The symmetrical design allows two identical halves to connect effortlessly. Simply align the lugs, push together, and rotate the locking ring a quarter turn to secure. For extra tightness, use a Guillemin wrench. This mechanism ensures a firm, leak-proof seal even under pressure.

  One half can be without a locking ring in fixed installations, as only one ring is needed for connection. This versatility makes Guillemin fittings a preferred choice in industrial fittings worldwide.
