S60x6 Fitting - Symmetrical Guillemin Locking Coupling DN32 and Half Coupling with 35mm Barbed Sleeve

S60x6 Fitting - Symmetrical Guillemin Locking Coupling DN32 and Half Coupling with 35mm Barbed Sleeve (Reference: 101367)

This symmetrical Guillemin coupling represents a leading professional technical solution for all your hydraulic connection needs. Made from polypropylene and aluminium, it offers exceptional robustness and extended compatibility with industrial and agricultural piping systems. The Guillemin locking system ensures a quick, secure and leak-tight connection, while the 35mm barbed sleeve provides a perfect fit on your existing installations.

Applications and Fields of Use

This Guillemin S60x6 DN32 fitting perfectly meets the needs of professionals in agriculture, industry and demanding private users. In agricultural irrigation, it enables the quick connection of reel irrigators, sprinkler booms and drip systems. Its bidirectional design makes it ideal for suction and discharge operations, offering unmatched versatility in the field.

In the industrial sector, this fitting excels at liquid transfer in chemical, petrochemical and food processing industries. Its resistance to powdery substances also makes it a preferred choice for powder and granule handling applications. Wash stations, high-pressure cleaning systems and pumping installations benefit from its reliability and ease of connection.

Technical Specifications and Materials

The polypropylene and aluminium construction gives this fitting remarkable chemical resistance and exceptional longevity. Polypropylene offers excellent resistance to acids, bases and organic solvents, while aluminium provides the structural rigidity required for pressure applications.

The nominal diameter DN32 corresponds to an optimal flow rate for most agricultural and industrial applications. The female S60x6 thread ensures perfect compatibility with 1000L IBC tank fittings and many standard market equipment. The 35mm barbed sleeve allows secure insertion on flexible hoses, preventing any risk of inadvertent disconnection under pressure.

The Guillemin locking system integrates stainless steel locking lugs that guarantee reliable retention even in the presence of vibrations or significant mechanical stress. This design, proven over decades in industry, ensures perfect sealing up to 10 bar working pressure.

Installation and Practical Use

Installing this Guillemin fitting requires no specialised tools. For mounting on flexible hose, simply push the 35mm barbed sleeve firmly into the hose up to the stop. The retaining rings ensure optimal mechanical retention without the need for an additional hose clamp.

The connection between two Guillemin elements is made by simple alignment and a quarter-turn rotation. The locking lugs automatically engage in their respective housings, producing a characteristic "click" confirming correct locking. To disconnect, simply press the lugs while rotating in the reverse direction.

Maintenance is limited to rinsing with clean water after each use, which is particularly important when handling chemical products or fertilisers. Periodic disassembly allows inspection of the seal condition and thorough cleaning if necessary. Storage must be carried out away from frost to preserve the integrity of the materials.

Expert Tips and Product Synergies

To optimise the performance of your installation, pair this Guillemin fitting with our reinforced flexible hoses with a 32mm internal diameter. This combination ensures optimal flow and avoids excessive pressure drops. In irrigation applications, adding a Gardena irrigation controller allows full automation of the system.

Be sure to respect the service temperature: polypropylene withstands temperatures from -20°C to +80°C, but sealing performance is optimal between 5°C and 60°C. Avoid sudden thermal shocks that could weaken the materials.

For critical industrial applications, we recommend installing a non-return valve upstream to prevent product backflow. The use of additional PTFE seals may be necessary with certain aggressive solvents. Also consider colour-coding your fittings according to the fluids being transported to avoid cross-contamination.

During winter, systematically drain your installations to prevent frost damage. Annual disassembly of fittings allows wear inspection and anticipation of necessary replacements.
