A report on fluid connection failures obtained through the F.A.A. has been the inspiration for the new Speedlox Locking Fitting. For years the industry has tried to come up with a "better mouse trap" to make the maintenance of fluid systems faster, easier and safer. The Speedlox Locking fittings are all that and more!
Speedlox is a proven, patented, high-pressure locking fluid fitting proven to hold 12,000 lbs of pressure for 6 months with no signs of leaking. Speedlox is the only fitting that allows your existing lines and hoses to be threaded, sealed and locked into place without the use of a wrench. “Just Hand Tight !!!”
This product eliminates leaks and is designed to physically prevent the hose end from accidentally coming loose from the fitting. The Teflon sealing system makes leakage or weeping at the connection a thing of the past. Speedlox is a very cost effective remedy for this problem.
