Plastic quick release couplings
Plastic quick release couplings – general information
CPC quick release plastic couplings are designed for general industry, biopharmaceutical, medical, chemical, food and packaging application. A version with an automatic shut-off valve prevents leaks and thus increases safety of its operator. A wide choice of materials enables selection of the quick release coupling for almost any application. One hand operation with an audible click confirming secure connection. A variety of coupling versions allows attachment to threaded connection, in-line, hose systems, panel mounting, etc. A product line of CPC couplings makes a total of over 4000 items. They are available as individual male or female parts with different connections or as ready-to-use sets to be fit into a hose (so called „Line-In”).
It is recommended to use CPC quick release couplings with hoses listed in TYGON® HOSES section.
The range of CPC plastic quick release couplings includes the following types:
- SMC DN 2,4: miniature, twist-to-connect, in acetal, polypropylene and polycarbon. Application: printing inks, photographic technology, measurement of blood pressure, detection of particles, medicine, etc.
- PMC DN 3,2: with a push button, in acetal and polypropylene. Application: printing inks, electroplating, chemical analysers, cleaning devices, medicine;
- PLC DN 6,3: with a push button, in acetal and polypropylene. The most popular of all CPC couplings – thousands of applications: for liquid foodstuffs and beverages, chemicals, deionised water, industrial automatic machines, cleaning devices;
- HFC DN 9,9, with a push button, in polypropylene and polysulphone. PLC coupling is a substitute for the traditional quick release couplings with a ball locking mechanism. Widely used for air, water and chemicals e.g. battery filling systems, antifreeze systems, photographic chemicals, medicine. A version in black polysulphone is UV radiation resistant.
- MPC DN 7,4, with a push button, in polycarbon, polysulphone and ABS. No valves – free flow. For medical applications. Meets the biocompatibility requirements of USP Class VI, ADCF – free of materials of animal origin. Available: SaniQuik plugs with Triclover flanges, in 316 steel;
- MPX DN 12,7, with a push button, in polycarbon and polysulphone. No valves – free flow. For medical applications. Meets the biocompatibility requirements of USP Class VI, ADCF – free of materials of animal origin. Available: SaniQuik plugs with Triclover flanges, in 316 steel;
- CQG 06 DN 15, with a push button, in virgin, pure polypropylene. Double shut-off and spill free. For High Purity chemical applications. Used in laboratories and in high purity and hazardous fluids chemical installations.
