WEH® TW17 | Instant connection to leak and pressure testingModular WEH® Connector for manual, semi or fully automatic pressure and function tests. The WEH® TW17 Quick Connector simplifies manufacturing processes, improves efficiency and increases productivity assuring safe, reliable and leak tight connections. Within seconds components with female thread, i.e. engines, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses etc. can easily be function and pressure tested from vacuum up to max. 350 bar using the WEH® TW17 series. Made of high-grade corrosion resistant stainless steel, the WEH® TW17 fits female threads from 1/8” to 2”.

WEH® TW17 | Product BenefitsThe WEH® TW17 is ideally suited for pneumatic and hydraulic pressure tests and functions tests on internally threaded components, i.e. engines, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses, fittings, etc. The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself into the thread of the test piece and provides a pressure-tight connection in seconds.

WEH® TW17H | FunctionNo twist - no turn, no wrenching. Just place the WEH® Quick Connector into the female threaded port of the test piece.

WEH® TW17 | Actuation PossibilitiesThe WEH® TW17 Quick Connector is designed for sealing standardized female thread applications. The TW17 Quick Coupling is available with different actuations: Manually with hand lever, pneumatically with valve head and pneumatically for external manual, semi or fully automatic control systems. Special versions, e.g. connectors in longer or shorter versions, as a plug or with hydraulic actuation etc. are possible.
The WEH® TW17H connector is the perfect tool for pressure, function and vacuum testing during production and rated for pressure up to max. 350 bar. The safe and pressure-tight connection to standardised female threads is established in just seconds – without tedious hand tightening.
No additional thread sealants are required, time-consuming and expensive clamping and testing devices are eliminated. The manual actuation via hand lever is very easy. Only actuate the hand lever and place the TW17H loosely into the test piece. On frequent connection and disconnection considerable time and cost savings are achieved.
Bores have been added as standard to the clamping jaws for body sizes 5 – 6 of the connector for increased media flow and enhanced productivity.
The quick connector is available for low pressure up to 50 bar and high pressure up to 350 bar. For automated applications with pneumatic actuation we offer the TW17V with valve head and the TW17P for fully automatic control systems.
Special versions such as e.g. longer or shorter versions, plug versions or versions for hydraulic actuation etc. are also possible.

Fast test connections for internally threaded components - WEH® TW17
WEH offers fastest connectors for components with female thread. The manually hand lever actuated quick coupling TW17 is the ideal test fitting / tool for pneumatic or hydraulic pressure testing, leak testing and function testing. It provides safe and fast leak tight connections thanks to the WEH® Jaw Locking Mechanism - Just push to connect. The TW17 quick release coupling is mainly used for in-process leak testing of hydraulic components like engines / engine blocks, manifolds, transmissions, brake and steering systems, transmitters, fuel systems, valves, cylinders, pressure vessels, hoses etc., but also for vacuum testing and high pressure testing of automotive components.
Whether metric ISO threads (DIN 13), Whitworth tube threads (DIN ISO 228-1), BSPT, NPT or SAE-O-Ring Boss threads, the WEH® TW17 Quick coupler for pneumatic and hydraulic leak tests connects to virtually all standardised types of female threads.
The higher the test pressure, the tighter the WEH® Connector will clamp itself into the threaded test piece port thus establishing a leak tight connection in just seconds – without hand tightening. The instant leak tight and high pressure connection eliminates tape, sealant and wrenches. Front O-ring reliably seals the connection and can be easily replaced during maintenance.
