- The stem part that is clamped to the hose is one-half of the Boss™ ground joint connection
- The Boss™ ground joint spud part of the coupling serves as the other half and is usually fixed to the equipment
- The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud, when connected they achieve both a mechanical, and a pressure seal
- Leak-proof seal forms when the metal head of the stem makes contact with the patented polymer seat in the Boss™ ground joint spud
- Easy to seal
- Recommended for steam service up to 450 deg F
- Boss™ ground joint complete couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose or a single length to a male or female threaded outlet
Applications: For steam hose connections, air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals and liquid petroleum gas up to 1 in ID
