S60x6 Fitting - Symmetrical Guillemin with Lock DN50 - 50/60 mm

S60x6 Fitting - Symmetrical Guillemin with Lock DN50 - 50/60 mm (Reference: 101305)

This symmetrical half-coupling Guillemin type represents the ideal solution for all your flexible hose connection needs. Manufactured to the most demanding standards, it combines the robustness of polypropylene and aluminium to offer exceptional reliability in all your irrigation, fluid transfer and industrial application projects.

Applications and Fields of Use

The S60x6 symmetrical Guillemin DN50 fitting is suitable for both private users and professionals looking for a versatile and high-performance connection solution. In the agricultural sector, it excels for irrigation systems, IBC tank supply and surface pump connections. Chemical and petrochemical industries adopt it for the safe transfer of corrosive liquids, while the food and beverage sector uses it for its hygiene and resistance qualities.

Its ability to operate in suction and discharge makes it an essential component for pumping stations, water distribution networks and high-pressure cleaning installations. Landscape gardeners and professional gardeners appreciate it for its ease of handling during on-site operations.

Technical Design and Materials

The polypropylene and aluminium construction gives this fitting exceptional resistance to mechanical and chemical stress. Polypropylene, recognised for its UV resistance and resistance to extreme temperatures, ensures a long service life even under intensive outdoor use. Aluminium reinforces the structure and ensures excellent resistance to service pressures.

The nominal diameter DN50 perfectly matches the commonly used piping standards, while the 50/60 mm dimensions offer optimal compatibility with the majority of flexible hoses on the market. The female S60x6 thread complies with European standards and ensures a perfect seal with all compatible fittings in your installation.

The Guillemin locking system guarantees a secure connection that resists vibration and pressure variations. This proven technology prevents accidental disconnections, even during intensive use.

Installation and Implementation

Installing the S60x6 symmetrical Guillemin fitting requires no specific tools. Simply engage the fitting onto the hose up to the stop, then activate the locking system to secure the connection. The symmetrical design allows assembly in both directions, greatly simplifying logistics on site.

To ensure optimal sealing, verify that the contact surfaces are clean and free of debris. The use of a suitable O-ring is recommended for pressurised applications or with aggressive fluids. The tightening torque must be respected to avoid deformation of the thread.

Maintenance is limited to regular cleaning and checking the condition of the seals. When used with chemical products, a thorough rinse after each use will considerably extend the service life of the fitting.

Expert Tips and Optimisation

To maximise the performance of your S60x6 Guillemin fitting, pair it with the professional flexible hoses of compatible diameter available in our range. The use of stainless steel clamps reinforces the security of the assembly, particularly recommended for industrial applications.

In pumping installations, always position the fitting in the direction of flow to optimise flow rate and reduce pressure losses. For seasonal applications, store fittings away from frost after completely draining the circuit.

Irrigation professionals will appreciate the versatility of this fitting, which integrates perfectly into a modular system. Combine it with our ball valves and elbow fittings to create custom installations tailored to your specific configuration.

Expert tip: always keep a few spare seals in stock to ensure continuity of service for your critical installations.
