OPW LYNX Series API Coupler - Ultra Low Temperature FKM Seals

OPW LYNX Ultra-Low Temperature API Coupler Description

The OPW LYNX Ultra-low Temperature coupler sets a new standard in bottom-loading performance and serviceability, even in extreme low temperatures. Engineered with precision, this LYNX coupler features a revolutionary U-pin design that allows for fast, tool-free disassembly, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance.

Built for safety, durability, and ease of use, this coupler combines the best features of previous API models with reduced leakage, improved ergonomics, and a rugged stainless steel build. Capable of operation at ultra-low temperatures, and weighing just 19 lbs (8.6 kg), it’s as lightweight as it is tough.

Operating Temperature Range: -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 90°C)
