Overview
The Pascal Multi Coupler is a manual coupler that connects several hydraulic, water or air lines at once, easily and securely, with a slight push on the gripper. It is for molders who connect many mold lines at each mold change, such as air valve gate and mold temperature control lines. Two models are offered: the open MCA and the check valve MCC.
Key Features
- One push connects many lines
- Multiple couplers connect at once by pushing the gripper slightly.
- Hydraulic, water and air
- Handles hydraulic, water and air lines.
- 4 to 12 ports
- Available with 4, 6, 8 or 12 ports.
- Open or check valve
- Choose the open (check valve-less) MCA or the check valve MCC.
- Secure connection
- Pascal designs the coupler to connect easily and securely.
Product Line / Models
Pascal offers two multi coupler models:
- MCA open (check valve-less) model – Shown on air valve gate lines on 6,000 kN and 18,000 kN machines and mold temperature control lines on a 2,800 kN machine.
- MCC check valve model – Shown with the open model on an 8,500 kN machine for air valve gate and mold temperature control lines.
Applications & Benefits
- Air valve gates: Connects air valve gate lines together, as on 6,000 kN and 18,000 kN injection molding machines.
- Mold temperature control: Connects temperature control lines in one step, as on a 2,800 kN machine.
- Faster mold changes: A single push replaces connecting couplers one at a time.
- Large machines: Pascal shows multi couplers on injection molding machines from 2,800 kN to 18,000 kN.

How to Choose the Right Pascal Multi Coupler
- Count the lines to connect on each mold and pick the port count (4, 6, 8 or 12).
- Identify the fluid for each group of lines: hydraulic, water or air.
- Choose the open MCA or the check valve MCC, depending on whether the lines need a check valve when disconnected.
- Note your machine tonnage and mold sizes, and how often molds change.
Why Pascal Multi Couplers Are Trusted
- Simple operation: Pascal states that multiple couplers connect easily and securely by pushing the gripper slightly.
- Proven on large machines: Pascal shows installations on injection molding machines from 2,800 kN to 18,000 kN.
- Coupling specialist: Pascal also builds auto couplers for fully automatic line connection.
