The PDS1 ball-lock coupler is Taipan's answer to hard, high-frequency connection work on agricultural remotes and mobile plant. Made in Italy by DNP, the ball-locking sleeve takes daily coupling abuse without brinelling, and the push-pull versions connect one-handed against residual pressure.
Use the dropdowns to choose your size, then pick a male half, female half, or a pair (1 male + 1 female).
Interchange: ISO 7241-A — connects with DNP PDS1, Faster ANV, Stucchi A-series, Parker 6600, Aeroquip 5600 and other A-pattern couplers.

Ball couplers wear at the locking balls first - if a sleeve starts feeling gritty, replace the pair before it lets go under load. Always depressurise before disconnecting standard versions; only the push-pull females are designed to work against residual pressure.
