The Universal Push-to-Connect (UPTC) assembly provides fast and efficient, leak-free connections for compact fluid power systems in industrial, mobile, and construction equipment.

UPTC consists of a base Seal-Lok O-ring face seal (ORFS) or metric bite-type fitting, a factory assembled UPTC nut with its internal sealing and retaining elements, a dust
O-ring, and a UPTC hose assembly or rigid tube.  The UPTC nut is assembled to the base ORFS or metric bite-type fitting at the factory to ensure proper torque is applied.  Once fully engaged, the retaining element is positively trapped between the male and the UPTC nut.  It cannot escape, even under vibration and extremely high pressure.
