Abstract:
A one-piece Storz-type fluid coupling and coupling system are disclosed that provide additional strength and a cleanout port that externally ejects debris away from the coupling. The one-piece Storz-type fluid coupling can include a flange portion including a circumferentially and radially extending base wall, an annular hub extending axially away from a radially inward portion of the base wall and having an annular axially-facing sealing surface, a pair of diametrically opposite lugs projecting axially away from the base wall, an outer wall extending circumferentially and axially outwardly from the base wall, coupling flanges extending circumferentially and radially inwardly from the outer wall and having lug retention lips, lug entry/exit pockets located between the lugs and the lug retention lips, lug retention channels located between the lug entry/exit pockets and the lugs, and cleanout ports located circumferentially between the lugs and lug retention pockets.
