Value Collection BDR-103620-20 Railroad Interchange Coupler

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDR-103620-20 is a 45-degree, non-valved pneumatic hose coupler built to the Railroad Interchange standard. This coupler is designed to connect pneumatic hose lines in rail and industrial applications where a reliable, angle-entry connection point is required. The non-valved design means airflow is unrestricted when disconnected, making it suited for systems where shutoff is handled elsewhere in the line. Installation is handled by pneumatic systems technicians or mechanical trades familiar with rail and heavy industrial air brake or control-line assemblies.

This coupler is intended for use in Railroad Interchange pneumatic systems, typically found on freight cars, rail yard equipment, and compatible industrial pneumatic lines that follow the Railroad Interchange coupling standard. It is a direct-fit replacement or spare component for maintenance and repair operations where Railroad Interchange-spec couplers are specified. The 45-degree body angle reduces hose stress at the connection point in tight routing configurations.

Key Features

• 45-degree coupler body reduces hose bend stress in confined routing
• Non-valved design allows unrestricted airflow when disconnected
• Conforms to Railroad Interchange coupling standard for broad fitment
• Compact form factor suited for rail car and industrial pneumatic lines
• Sold individually — one coupler per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement coupler for Railroad Interchange-standard pneumatic hose systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified pneumatic or mechanical technicians familiar with rail air line systems. Depressurize and isolate the pneumatic line completely before removing or installing any coupler. Verify thread engagement and check for air leaks after pressurizing the system. Follow applicable rail industry and shop safety standards during service.
