The Extra Caffeinated Oval.
An oval that packs a punch. Larger than our classic Ultra O, it shares the same stable loading characteristics but with more volume when required. This addition to our oval connector range means we now have the compact PerfectO, the industry standard Ultra O and the larger AmericanO.
The AmericanO is also DMM's first ANSI (American National Standards Institute) compliant true oval connector. It is especially suited for industries that apply this standard. A DMM oval for all applications.
Locking gate types
Screwgate
Manual locking gate requiring screwing/unscrewing of the barrel to lock/unlock.
Kwiklock
Auto-locking gate requiring two distinct actions to open.
Locksafe
Auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open.
Durolock
Auto-locking gate requiring four distinct operations to open. Force must be maintained throughout or the gate returns to safe (locked).
Kwiklock ANSI
Same gate action as Kwiklock but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
Locksafe ANSI
Same gate action as Locksafe but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
