AWQ Split Connector Locking Sleeves — AWQFBLS Female and AWQMBLS Male

The AWQFBLS (Female Body Locking Sleeve) and AWQMBLS (Male Body Locking Sleeve) are the threaded coupling ring accessories for the AWQ split connector series — providing the mechanical locking engagement between the mated connector halves that prevents vibration-induced separation during ROV operations, tether handling, and vehicle transit. The locking sleeve threads onto the outer diameter of one connector body and engages with the locking groove on the mating body, compressing the face seal for a positive IP68 rated connection. Available for all AWQ series (4/24, 8/32, 7/42).
