- A 4-hole non-optic swivel coupler that provides an ergonomic, quick-disconnect solution for standard dental tubing, a direct and more affordable replacement for the KaVo 457 Coupler
Uses
- Ergonomic Upgrades:
- Ideal for dentists using fixed 4-hole handpieces who want the ergonomic benefits of a swivel without changing their tubing or adding fiber-optics
- Direct Replacement:
- Serves as a reliable, budget-friendly alternative to the KaVo 457 (553.1210) coupler
- Handpiece Integration:
- Used to adapt Vector's F-Series or Velocity Vx-Series non-optic handpieces to standard 4-hole delivery systems
Features
- 4-Hole Non-Optic Connection:
- Specifically designed to connect to any standard 4-hole dental tubing without fiber-optic capabilities
- KaVo Multi-flex™ Compatibility:
- Fully interchangeable with the KaVo Multi-flex™ system; all o-rings, seals, and gaskets are 100% compatible with KaVo parts
- 360-Degree Swivel:
- Allows the attached handpiece to rotate freely in a full circle, reducing torque and resistance from the delivery tubing
- German-Made Quality:
- Manufactured with high-quality materials and tested in Germany to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications
- Anti-Retraction Valve:
- Features a mechanism to minimize the retraction of contaminated water into the handpiece and supply hose
Benefits
- Enhanced Ergonomics:

- Exceptional Value:
- Offers the performance and build quality of top-tier German brands at a much lower price point
- Seamless Maintenance:
- Due to its 100% interchangeability with KaVo parts, offices can use their existing inventory of gaskets and o-rings for maintenance and repairs
- Workflow Efficiency:
- The quick-connect design allows for rapid handpiece swaps and removal for sterilization, streamlining operatory turnover
