non-interchangeable brake line couplings

Explanation:
I am not entirely sure as to the correct term for "Kupplungsköpfe". However, http://frli.law.gov.au/s97.vts?action=View&VdkVgwKey=1996B00... leads me to believe that "brake line couplings" might be appropriate indeed.

See extract from this source (*** are mine):

"***Brake line couplings***

6.19 (1) ***Brake line couplings*** on the same part of a vehicle in a B-double or road train ***must not be interchangeable***.

6.19 (2) The couplings must be polarised in accordance with Australian Standard AS D8-1971 "Hose Couplings for Use with Vacuum and Air-Pressure Braking Systems on Prime Movers, Trailers and Semi-trailers" if the hoses used with the brake couplings are used for the same purpose as the hoses described in the Australian Standard."
