The European Centre of Excellence for Quick Connect Coupling Systems.

Parker’s Quick Coupling Division Europe (QCDE) is one of the leading manufacturers of complete quick connect coupling systems for pneumatics, hydraulics and fluid handling. In addition to its standard ranges, QCDE also develops customer-specific solutions for special requirements.



The couplings are available with various valve designs (straight, single and double shut-off, as well as dry-break) and the broadest range of materials (brass, steel, stain- less steel and thermoplastic). Moreover, we are also the only supplier of USP class VI quick connect couplings in POM (polyacetal) and PSU (polysulphone).

The head office of the QCDE is in Nussdorf near Stuttgart, where the Rectus-brand coupling systems are also produced. The Swedish site in Skövde and the French site in Annemasse are also homes to the production of the hydraulic quick connect couplings.

Specialist for Low Pressure Systems.

For decades, RECTUS quick connect couplings have stood for the highest precision and reliability. The pneumatic systems are used in many industries, primarily for compressed air but also for connections with liquid media.
