The other end must have an internal or external quick disconnect feature for connecting a mating part to form a quick disconnect coupling assembly. The fitting may incorporate a self-sealing feature for the purpose of automatically shutting off the flow of fluid when disconnected from its mating half. For self-sealing fittings with an external or internal threaded disconnect end, see COUPLING HALF, SELF-SEALING. See also, CONNECTOR, MULTIPLE, FLUID PRESSURE LINE.

What is a Fluid Pressure Line Multiple Connector?

A Fluid Pressure Line Multiple Connector (CONNECTOR,MULTIPLE,FLUID PRESSURE LINE) is a device of varying shapes with two or more connections to accommodate hydraulic or air passage(s) line end connections and/or a BOLT, FLUID PASSAGE(S).

NATO Supply Class 4730 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 47, which is dedicated to Pipe, Tubing, Hose, and Fittings.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 4730 focuses on Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings. This class includes various types of fittings that are used in the assembly and connection of hoses, pipes, and tubes. These fittings are designed to provide secure and leak-free connections, as well as to facilitate the flow of fluids or lubricants.

Examples of fittings that fall under NATO Supply Class 4730 include couplings, adapters, connectors, elbows, tees, valves, clamps, and other similar components. These fittings are used in a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, aerospace, and military sectors.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 4730 is to provide a standardized classification system for these types of fittings, making it easier for NATO member countries to identify, procure, and exchange these items. This classification system helps ensure compatibility and interoperability among different military forces and organizations.

When searching for or procuring fittings within NATO Supply Class 4730, it is important to refer to the NATO Codification System (NCS) or consult relevant NATO supply catalogs and databases. These resources provide detailed information about the specific fittings, including their part numbers, technical specifications, and applicable standards.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 4730 plays a crucial role in the efficient management and supply of hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings within NATO member countries.
