Closeout XBoom Duo Jaw QC Mate Quick Coupler Hand Clamp

Description

Struggling to connect your hydraulic quick-connect couplers? Built-up line pressure makes it nearly impossible — but the XBoom Coupler QC-Mate solves that fast.
The QC-Mate uses 13-gauge steel clamp jaws with large structural side gussets mounted to a ratcheting hand clamp, delivering a powerful 600 lb clamping force. Available in 12" and 18" spacing to fit a variety of machines, hydraulic blocks, and coupler styles, and compatible with all standard Flat-Face and Ag Style hydraulic couplers in the listed sizes.
This listing is for the Duo Jaw, which is designed to fit two coupler sizes — giving you the flexibility to use the same QC-Mate clamp without swapping jaws. This Duo Jaw fits both 3/8" and 1/2" NPT couplers, with actual jaw diameters of .71" and .87" respectively to properly fit the outer diameter of each coupler. Keep in mind that when using the larger of the two sizes, clamping force may be slightly reduced as the connection point shifts closer to the tip of the jaw.

Duo Jaws are designed to fit two sizes of coupler each. The benefit of this style is that you can use the same QC Mate clamp on two different coupler sizes without changing the jaws. The Duo Jaws are available in a smaller size (fits 3/8" & 1/2") and larger size (fits 1/2" & 3/4"). The disadvantage of the Duo style jaws is that when using them on the larger of the two sizes you may experience reduced clamping force because the connection with the coupler is less robust and closer to the "tip" of the jaw.

Actual Duo Jaw Diameters are:

• 3/8" & 1/2" = .71" & .87"

Will the QC-Mate work for my machine?

This tool is compatible with ALL standard 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 7/8" NPT nipples and fittings that attach to the back-side of Flat-Face and Ag Style Hydraulic Couplers. However, the Clamp Jaws need to engage the back-side of each coupler. Therefore, this device may not be compatible with some “Hydraulic Blocks” where access to both sides of the circuit are not accessible (this is the case with many CAT and Kubota skid steers and CTLs). Also, pre-measure your longest connection point distance (the spread) to determine whether you'll want the 12" or 18" clamp option. For the jaws to engage, you have to have access to the flat surfaces on the back of the couplers and a “shared center-line” for the clamp to align correctly and create an in-line clamping force.
