1/2" Quick Coupling – code: 36.189.02 – Osculati

1/2″ Quick Coupling Osculati (code 36.189.02)

The 1/2″ quick coupling Osculati (code 36.189.02) is an accessory designed to make the connection between the water line and onboard washing equipment more practical and tidy. The quick connection allows easy hooking and unhooking of the device, maintaining a typical setup of “quick connect” systems used in maintenance and cleaning.

A distinctive feature of this coupling is the presence of flow shut-off when the gun is not inserted: a useful function to manage the connection more controlled during preparation, accessory changes, or equipment storage operations.

Main features and details

Quick snap connection

The coupling is designed to offer a snap fitting in format 1/2″, suitable for configurations where speeding up the connection and disconnection of the washing accessory is desired. In nautical contexts, where space is often limited and operations must be quick, this type of fitting helps simplify the maintenance routine.

Flow shut-off without gun inserted

When the gun is not connected, the coupling stops the flow. This feature is particularly useful for:

• managing the device connection without water output;
• reducing the possibility of leaks during accessory changes;
• keeping the work area tidier during preparation phases.

The function is described as flow shut-off if the gun is not inserted, so it is consistent with typical use with a lance/boat wash gun.

Use on multiple sides of the system

The fitting can be used both on the gun side and on the tap side.. This flexibility allows adapting the installation to the needs of the onboard system or the configuration of the existing equipment, without imposing a single mounting scheme.
