Most hydraulic headaches start at the connection: a spill here, an extra adapter there, a hose that gives out months too soon. On their own, they’re small. Add them up over a season and they cost you time, oil, and money.
Faster couplings and components are built to take those headaches off the table, and three recent additions stand out: MultiQTC, GenYus, and Quick Swivel. Each one tackles a different problem to keep your connections clean and ready to go.
What You’ll Learn
- How MultiQTC reduces hook-up time.
- How GenYus cuts the extra adapters out of rear SCV connections.
- Why hoses twist and fail early, and how Quick Swivel stops it.
- How to choose the right Faster product for the job.
- Where to get Faster couplings in Canada with same-day shipping.
How Does MultiQTC Connect Multiple Hydraulic Lines at Once?
If your attachments run three hydraulic lines, you’re probably hooking up three separate hydraulic quick couplers every time you swap. It’s slow, oil ends up on the ground, and it’s easy to cross a line, especially at the end of a long shift.
MultiQTC replaces all of that with a single lever. One motion connects three lines at once, with virtually no spillage. It even connects when there’s residual pressure in the lines, so you’re not fighting trapped pressure before every change.
Best for: Construction equipment and attachments that run multiple hydraulic lines.
How Does GenYus Mount Couplers Directly on a Rear SCV?
On a lot of agricultural machines, the rear SCV (selective control valve) connection is a stack of parts: adapters, hydraulic hose connector fittings, and then the couplers. Every extra piece is another part to source, another potential leak point, and more time on the assembly line or in the service bay.
GenYus is a cast manifold that screws directly onto Bosch SB24/34 and Danfoss PVBZ 40 valves. It holds two ISO 7241 or ISO 16028 cartridges, so you can choose the coupling standard your machines need. Running a different SCV? Custom flanged adapters let GenYus fit other valves too.
Best for: Agricultural machinery manufacturers (OEMs).
How Does Quick Swivel Stop Hydraulic Hoses from Twisting?
When a hose moves while the equipment works, it can twist under pressure. That twisting puts stress on the hose, and it wears out long before it should. The result is unplanned downtime, replacement costs, and a mess to clean up.
Quick Swivel builds a swivel right into a flat-face hydraulic coupling. It rotates under pressure without damage, so the hose moves with the machine instead of fighting it.
Best for: Agriculture, construction, forestry, and industrial equipment with hoses that move while working.
Which Faster Product Should You Use?
Here’s a quick look at which product fixes which headache.
| If your problem is… | Look at | Best suited for | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connecting multiple lines one at a time, with spills and mix-ups. | MultiQTC | Construction equipment and attachments. | One lever connects three lines at once, with virtually no spillage. |
| Extra adapters and fittings at rear SCV connections. | GenYus | Agricultural machinery manufacturers (OEMs). | A cast manifold screws directly onto the valve, with fewer parts in the way. |
| Hoses twisting under pressure and wearing out early. | Quick Swivel | Agriculture, construction, forestry, and industrial equipment. | The coupling rotates under pressure, so hoses last longer. |

OEMs count on Tompkins for on-time delivery and technical support, while MROs get fast shipping and easy online ordering.
What are the best hydraulic components for agricultural equipment?
It depends on the job. GenYus is built for rear SCV connections on agricultural machinery, cutting out extra adapters and fittings. Quick Swivel suits hoses that move while the equipment works, since it rotates under pressure without damage.
What’s the difference between a flat-face hydraulic coupling and a standard quick coupler?
Flat-face couplings (ISO 16028) have flat mating surfaces that close flush when disconnected. That means less spillage, less air getting into the system, and easier cleaning. Poppet-style couplers (ISO 7241) are a long-time standard on agricultural equipment, but they tend to lose more oil at disconnect. GenYus can hold either type.
Can you connect a hydraulic quick disconnect under pressure?
Many standard quick disconnects are hard to connect when residual pressure is trapped in the line, but some are designed for it. MultiQTC connects three lines at once, even with residual pressure in the lines. Always check the specs of the coupling you’re using.
