Preece & Special Connectors

Cloud1.png

AdelWiggins provides special connectors to serve high performance applications. AdelWiggins' quick disconnect couplings are used in Military and Commercial aircraft, Space Launch Vehicles, Nuclear and Bio-Medical industries. These applications require couplings to handle a variety of fluids, including coolants, fuel, hydraulic, and cryogenic fluids while maintaining minimal leakage, air inclusion and pressure drop. In addition, a wide variety of frangible connectors are available to prevent leakage of fluids where crashworthiness is required.
