Leasing & Rent-to-Own
Leasing & Rent-to-Own
We offer leasing and rent-to-own financing options exclusively to business owners, tradespeople, and the self-employed for selected products with a net merchandise value of €1,000 or more. Below you will find the key differences between these two financing options.
Leasing
In a lease, the product is made available to the lessee for use in exchange for regular lease payments. The lessor is responsible for accounting for the lease. The lease payments can generally be claimed as business expenses for tax purposes. These are gross payments, and value-added tax is charged throughout the entire term. At the end of the agreed-upon basic lease term, it is generally possible to purchase the product.
Hire Purchase
Hire purchase is economically equivalent to installment purchase. The product is capitalized on the hire purchaser’s balance sheet and depreciated in accordance with the official depreciation tables. Upon payment of the final hire purchase installment, ownership of the item is transferred to the hire purchaser. Value-added tax must be paid in full with the first hire purchase installment (transitory item).
Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & Delivery
Depending on the size, weight, and nature of our goods, they are shipped either via parcel service or freight carrier. We select the shipping method at our reasonable discretion.
The delivery times listed in the online store are non-binding estimates, unless a binding delivery date has been expressly confirmed in writing. They are based on the information available from our manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics partners at the time the order is placed.
Most of the products offered are shipped directly from the manufacturer or from external central warehouses (direct shipping). As a result, delivery times may differ from the estimated times provided. Delivery delays may occur, particularly in the event of material shortages, production delays, supply bottlenecks, force majeure, or other circumstances beyond our control.
Disclaimer:
We assume no liability for delivery delays resulting from circumstances beyond our control. This applies in particular to delays caused by manufacturers, suppliers, shipping companies, or other third parties. Liability for any resulting damages—in particular for indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profits—is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Partial deliveries are permitted, provided they are reasonable for the customer. This does not result in additional shipping costs, unless otherwise agreed.
The exact delivery time for an item can be provided on an individual basis upon request, either before or after the order is placed.
Please contact us by phone at +49 (0)2551 5030 or by email at shipping@strahltechnik-express.de.
In the event of significant delivery delays, we will inform the customer immediately. The customer’s mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected by this.
Male-thread coupling with locking nut and NBR rubber seal, DIN 3238, steel/cast iron, galvanized, max. PN 16, sizes G 3/8" – G 1" - G 3/8" is in stock and will be shipped as soon as it is available again
Krause K+K male-thread coupling with locking nut DIN 3238 – Lockable safety coupling for compressed air
The male-thread coupling from Krause K+K, conforming to DIN 3238, is a threaded claw coupling with a locking nut designed for compressed air systems requiring enhanced safety. After the two claws are coupled in the conventional manner, the connection is manually secured using the locking nut. This prevents the coupling from coming loose on its own.
The coupling has a 42 mm claw spacing with double safety cams. The coupling body is made of galvanized steel/cast iron, and the locking nut is made of brass. An oil-resistant NBR seal provides the seal. The temperature range is −40 °C to +100 °C, and the maximum operating pressure is PN 16. According to Krause K+K, the series is compatible with all MODY safety threaded couplings.

How It Works and Compatibility
✔ The two claw couplings are first coupled together like a traditional claw coupling
✔ Next, tighten the locking nut by hand
✔ The locking nut prevents the connection from coming loose on its own
✔ Krause K+K recommends combining a classic claw coupling with a claw coupling with locking nut
✔ According to the manufacturer, the DIN 3238 series is compatible with all MODY safety threaded couplings
✔ The male thread allows for direct mounting on fittings, pipes, and compressed air components
Operation and Safety
Before coupling, sealing surfaces, jaws, and the locking nut must be clean and undamaged. After coupling, the locking nut is tightened by hand or according to the intended operating procedure. Before disconnecting a compressed-air connection, the line must be depressurized. Worn seals or damaged coupling parts must be replaced before further use.
Applications
✔ General Compressed Air Systems
✔ Construction Sites and Industry
✔ Compressors and compressed-air lines
✔ Mechanical and Plant Engineering
✔ Applications with increased need for a lockable coupling connection
✔ Professional compressed air and blasting technology within the permissible operating parameters
FAQ
What is the function of the locking nut?
It secures the coupling manually, thereby preventing it from coming loose on its own.
What is the claw spacing of the coupling?
42 mm.
Which seal is used?
An oil-resistant NBR seal.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
PN 16.
What thread sizes are available?
G 3/8", G 1/2", G 3/4", and G 1".
Is the coupling MODY-compatible?
Yes. Krause K+K specifies that the series is compatible with all MODY safety threaded couplings.
Conclusion
The Krause K+K male-thread coupling, conforming to DIN 3238, is a robust safety coupling for professional compressed air systems. The 42-mm coupling head, the manually lockable brass locking nut, the oil-resistant NBR seal, and PN 16 ensure a reliable connection for applications where the coupling must be prevented from coming loose on its own.
