DryLink ® Sanitary Dry Disconnect – The Ultimate No-Spill Coupling

Why Choose Dry Link?

When it comes to dry disconnect fittings, Dry Link ® stands out. Unlike traditional poppet, plunger, or ball valves, DryLink® features a butterfly valve, which offers a more efficient and sanitary solution. Furthermore, with no interior cavities, voids, or springs, it eliminates the risk of bacteria buildup caused by trapped media. As a result, DryLink® is the only true sanitary dry disconnect fitting available today.

The Most Effective Dry Disconnect Coupling

As the market leader in dry break couplings, Dry Link ® delivers unmatched innovation and performance. Its patented design, available exclusively from Action Sealtite, ensures maximum efficiency. In particular, its single-handle operation controls the entire flow, making it the fastest and easiest dry disconnect coupling to use. Additionally, because the handle attaches only to the coupler, it also operates the adapter valve, ensuring a secure and spill-free connection.

Proven Performance – The Only True Non-Spill Coupling

More importantly, DryLink® remains the only true non-spill coupling worldwide. To support this claim, independent third-party testing by Factory Mutual Research confirms that a 2” (DN 50) DryLink hose coupling assembly leaks only 1 to 2 drops after 10 connect/disconnect cycles. By comparison, no other product even comes close! (Source)
