Kee Connections Launches New Digital Catalogue Platform

Kee Connections has launched a fully redeveloped website, marking a shift in how our product range is accessed, specified, and shared. The new platform replaces much of the reliance on traditional printed catalogues, providing a more practical and up-to-date resource for engineers, buyers, and maintenance teams.

Moving Beyond the Printed Catalogue

For many years, the Kee printed catalogue has been a core reference document across workshops, OEM environments, and maintenance departments. While it remains a useful format, it presents limitations in terms of updates, accessibility, and sustainability.

As part of our move towards a more efficient and environmentally responsible approach, we are now reducing large-scale catalogue printing. Printed catalogues will still be available on request, but they will no longer be the primary way to access product information.

This change supports a clear objective:
less printing, less waste, and more accurate, accessible technical data.

The Website as the Official Kee Catalogue

The Kee Connections website is now the official digital catalogue for our full product range.

Every series page has been structured to function as a standalone technical reference, allowing users to:

  • Review coupling specifications and configurations
  • Identify compatible plugs and interchange profiles
  • Access product tables with part numbers and connection options
  • Understand application suitability and use cases
  • Navigate between related series (e.g. single shut-off / double shut-off equivalents)

This approach removes the need to cross-reference multiple documents and ensures the information you are using is always current. 

Built for Practical Use

The new platform has been developed with real-world usage in mind:

  • Engineers can quickly identify the correct coupling and interchange standard
  • Buyers can extract part numbers and build enquiries with confidence
  • Maintenance teams can find direct replacements and compatible alternatives

Rather than a static document, the website allows you to move directly between product types, series, and applications without losing context. 

PDF Downloads – Page or Full Catalogue

While the platform is digital-first, we recognise that offline access and document sharing are still required in many environments.

You can now:

  • Download individual series pages as PDFs – ideal for sending specific product information to customers or colleagues
  • Download the full catalogue as a PDF – providing a complete offline reference when needed

This gives you the flexibility of a traditional catalogue, without the limitations of fixed printed material.

Supporting Customer-Specific Requirements

Moving to a digital catalogue also opens up more flexibility in how information is delivered. It allows us to better support:

  • Targeted document sharing (sending only relevant product data)
  • Faster updates to specifications and product ranges
  • Improved consistency across all customer touchpoints

Printed catalogues cannot offer this level of control or responsiveness.

A More Sustainable Approach

Reducing printed material is a practical step towards lowering environmental impact. By shifting to a digital catalogue:

  • Paper usage is significantly reduced
  • Outdated stock of printed catalogues is eliminated
  • Updates no longer require reprinting entire documents

Printed copies remain available where required, but the default approach is now digital distribution.

Applying STAMPED to Hose and Coupling Selection

That section can move from explaining the framework into how Kee actually uses the information, particularly for replacement coupling identification and interchangeability.

S – Size

Hose bore, connection size, thread size and coupling profile.

T – Temperature

Maximum and minimum media and ambient operating temperatures.

A – Application

What the connection is used for and the operating environment.

M – Material / Media

The fluid or gas being transferred and required material compatibility.

P – Pressure

Normal working pressure, pressure peaks and required flow.

E – Ends

Required threads, hose tails, fittings or quick release connection profiles.

D - Delivery

Required quantity, timescale and any ongoing production demand.

The STAMPED Specification Framework

A connection can be mechanically compatible without necessarily being suitable for the application. A matching thread or hose size, for example, does not confirm that the coupling profile, body material, seal material, working pressure or temperature range is correct.

STAMPED helps ensure these requirements are considered together rather than selecting a component from a single dimension or characteristic. This is particularly valuable when specifying equipment for a new installation or identifying an existing component where the original part number is unavailable.

For compressed air systems, the information can also help establish whether the selected coupling bore and design are appropriate for the required flow, while media and temperature information can influence the choice of body and seal materials.

Then go into Using STAMPED for Replacement Couplings, as we drafted before.

That removes the duplication you're seeing and makes the timeline feel like the central feature of the article, rather than a graphic inserted halfway through two introductions.
