Banjo Couplings: Banjo Dry Mate

The Banjo Coupling series (Banjo Dry Mate), is one of the most cost-effective dry disconnect couplings on the market and has been designed to be lightweight and easy to connect. Its unique ‘double ball’ design means maximum flow can be achieved. Banjo Dry Mate products are safe, clean and spill free.

• Wide range of chemical resistance – Polypropylene is compatible with a wide range of chemicals 
• Comes complete with dust caps – No need to purchase these separately

How Do Banjo Cam Lever Couplings Work?

• Dry Mate uses a ball valve design giving an unrestricted flow path
• The handles on each coupling half interlock, making it easy to identify which handle opens or closes first
• The cam-lever style of connection is the most recognised type of connection available
• Offers an easy, quick, and positive connection of both coupling halves

Banjo Coupling Safety Features

• Both handles have interlock buttons that prevent the ball valves from opening when the halves are separated
• Cannot be uncoupled in the fully open position
• The female part also has a locking yoke that locks the cam levers once the valve handle has been rotated to the open position
• The gasket, which seals between the two halves, is mechanically held in place to ensure that it remains located when the two halves are disconnected
