Key Design Features

• Flange receptacle: machined from a larger stainless block with a square mounting flange — keyway orientation is controlled, making it the recommended partner for right-angle plugs. An extra O-ring piston-type face seal is available by special order.
• Industry Standard Compatibility: mates with existing Burton 5500 series hardware — drop-in replacement without re-machining panels.
• Proven sealing technology: O-ring face seal with socket inserts in a moulded neoprene insulator.
• Heavy-duty stub Acme threads: rugged finger-tight coupling resistant to vibration and handling damage.
• Deep-water capable: mated pressure rating 10,000 psi (approx. 689 bar); ≥ 500 mating cycles.
• Material options: 316L stainless steel standard; Titanium, Aluminium Bronze, Alloy 625 and PEEK body options on request.
