An undersea hydraulic coupling is disclosed having a poppet valve with an actuator extending from the valve, and a guide between the actuator and bore. The guide is a sleeve shaped member around the actuator with flow passages which ensure a smooth flow of hydraulic fluid through the annulus between the coupling bore and actuator. The guide also helps prevent damage to the actuator, and aligns the actuator during connections, disconnections and use. |
