Yes, if the coupling has the required grooves, then the marking rings can be installed at any time. Can the Colour marking rings be reused on other couplings? Generally, yes. We do not recommend re-using damaged (e.g. cracked) rings, though. What if I do not want or need any colour coding? In that case, simply omit the colour marking rings and use the couplings without colour marking as before. Which colours does STAUFF offer as a standard? STAUFF offers the colour marking rings in the following standard colours: Small colour deviations may be caused by the production process. Are other colours also possible? Other colours can also be supplied, depending on the required quantities. Please contact a STAUFF sales representative for an individual offer. Can rings for colour marking also be fitted when using dust covers ? No, when using a dust cover for female bodies, the colour marking must be done via the marking clips. The male tip must be fitted with a colour marking ring. Is two-tone colour marking also possible? Yes, this is also possible. Half-width rings can be used to create a large number of different colour combinations. Accordingly, two rings are required. Please contact STAUFF for an individual offer. Why can it be useful to use a two-tone colour marking? It may happen that one connection is used for several lines. In this way, the dual function of the connection can be colour-coded and it becomes clear to the user that he can theoretically connect both lines. What do I need to know about storing the rings? The rings are subject to the same requirements as many other plastic and elastomer products. With correct storage, the colour marking rings can be stored for up to 10 years. Correct storage means that the rings are not continuously exposed to external environmental influences. The rings should be stored in a dry, draught-free location at constant temperatures below +25 °C and protected against ozone and strong artificial light. Failure to comply with these recommendations can cause the rings to become brittle. Are there any restrictions with regard to media resistance? No. Selecting the right material was one of the crucial criteria for the development of the colour marking rings. Resistance to all media generally used in hydraulic systems was therefore of great importance. In addition to this, the ring material is also resistant to other oils, greases and a number of common solvents. If you are unsure about the resistance of the rings to specific media or if you have any questions, please contact STAUFF for more information. How do the rings react to extreme sunlight? The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) used is thermally stable and also features excellent UV resistance. Catalogue 5 § Edition 03/2024 Colour Marking Rings / Spare Parts / Accessories
