Ultra Low Spill Face Seal
- This seal reduces the amount of spillage at disconnect to .2 cc. This seal is not pressure assisted and should only be used for applications lower than 100 psi.
Cavity Filled
- Designed to reduce the possibility of contamination by entrapment of process fluid in the void normally found behind the ball and the valve body. Ideal for applications where cross-contamination and cleanliness is a concern. Back side of the valve balls are bored for efficient cleaning.
Keyed Couplings
- For extremely critical operations, Epsilonoffers the unique keyed interface which locks out and isolates transfer lines, preventing cross-contamination.
Dual Ball Race (Optional)
- Radial swivel seal
  - Replaces dynamic face seal
  - Lower leak rate
  - Lower seal mortality rate caused by over-compressing seal to install bearings
- Dual ball races with hardened stainless bearings
  - Replaces PTFE sleeve bearing that may become overloaded and allow greater axial misalignment causing the dynamic face seal to leak
  - Provides additional support for applications with long hose drops or high load requirements
- Spring energized dust seal
Transportation Coupling System (TCS)
- Specially designed for railcar, truck, isotainer or tote equipment used in transporting chemicals safely. Contact us for more information.

Epsilon Low-Spill Coupling System

Epsilon is a low spill coupling, based on a double ball valve system integrating a sophisticated safety design. Beyond the common advantages of a ball valve design, Epsilon provides for product flow through an unrestricted flow path and double shut-off reliability in the coupling connection.

OPW Engineered Systems' Epsilon™ Coupler: Maintenance and Repair

Detailed step-by-step instructions for the complete disassembly and reassembly of the Epsilon™ coupler. Epsilon comes in stainless steel or Hastelloy® and because of its double ball valve design, Epsilon is a sophisticated low spill coupling system. For the best in-plant chemical transfers, select OPW's Epsilon. SHOW MORE
