ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic coupler has two halves connected together and identical bores in the halves which together promote laminar flow through the coupler. After entering the poppet in one half, flow through the coupler is directed to an enlarged flow section, through the central portion of the coupler to the enlarged flow section in the other half and then through crossbores in the poppet in the other half and out through that poppet. The flow section of each half is between a seating section and an outward section, and the seating section has a cylindrical portion with a diameter which is equal to the diameter of the outward section.
