High-Purity PVDF Pipe Fittings for Corrosive Chemicals
Made of PVDF that’s finished to a 12 Ra smoothness, these fittings handle some of the harshest chemicals without leaching contaminants into your line. They won’t accumulate particles and are easy to clean, thanks to their smoothness. Comparable to Kynar, these fittings handle most organic solvents that would dissolve CPVC, and chlorine or nitric acid that would weaken polypropylene. You can use them at higher temperatures than CPVC and polypropylene. These fittings meet UL 94 V-0 and FM standards for flame retardance. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and they meet ASTM requirements for dimensions and tolerances.
Connect them to pipe with socket fusion welding for a strong, permanent bond. Use a socket fusion tool with a heater bushing (sold separately) that matches your pipe size.

Plastic Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Chemicals
- For Use With: Inch: Alcohol, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid
Metric: Acetic Acid, Alcohol, Arsenic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Fluoboric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid - Temperature Range: Inch: 0° to 270° F
Metric: 32° to 175° F - Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 55D-60D) FEP plastic
Also known as instant fittings, these chemical-resistant plastic fittings connect to tubing with a push. An internal gripping ring holds the tubing tight. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Use these fittings in low-pressure applications.
PVDF fittings offer excellent chemical resistance, and can be used with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. They withstand temperatures up to 270° F, higher than other push-to-connect fittings for chemicals. They are produced in a clean room and are bagged individually to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. PVDF is also known as Kynar.
Caps fit over a tube stem end of a fitting or a piece of tubing.

Luer Lock Tube Couplings for Plastic and Rubber Tubing—Chemicals
- For Use With: Acetic Acid, Bleach, Ethanol, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Sulfuric Acid
- Tubing: Use with soft (Durometer 40A-65A) PVC plastic or silicone rubber
A staple in labs, these couplings are highly versatile, fitting any luer lock plug, socket, syringe, or needle. They lock together with a push and turn, so they work well in lines that are frequently disconnected. Use them in low-pressure applications. They have a compact body for installation in tight spaces. Made of PVDF, they resist most acids, alcohols, and organic solvents. PVDF is also known as Kynar.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket.

Plastic Cam-and-Groove Hose Couplings for Chemicals and Petroleum
Made of plastic, these couplings are lighter in weight than metal cam-and-groove hose couplings, yet have the chemical resistance to withstand gasoline and other harsh substances. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that allow you to quickly connect and disconnect medium-to large-diameter hose lines. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and press the levers down. The levers fit snugly into the groove on the plug’s body and force the plug against the gasket to form a tight seal. To disconnect, lift both levers and pull out the plug.
Plugs with male threaded end are also known as F adapters.
Plugs with female threaded end are also known as A adapters.
Plugs with barbed end are also known as E adapters. Insert the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with a clamp.
Sockets with locking levers prevent accidental disconnection. The locking pins engage automatically when the coupling is connected. Press the locking pins simultaneously to disengage.
PVDF plugs and sockets have better corrosion and chemical resistance than nylon plugs and sockets. Use them when your application involves harsh acids and solvents.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size.
Warning: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting the couplings. Do not use cam-and-groove couplings with compressed air or gas.

Minimal-Spill Push-and-Turn Hose Couplings for Chemicals
Quickly connect and disconnect hose lines used with a variety of chemicals, from adhesives to isopropyl alcohol and ink. Any part of these couplings that contacts fluid is made from 316 stainless steel, C-276 Hastelloy, PTFE, or fluoroelastomer to withstand the chemicals in your line. Tough enough to handle frequent use, these couplings are designed to be virtually spill free. Also known as dry disconnects and double-shut off couplings, both the plug and the socket have a shut-off valve that stops the flow of liquids when they’re separated. To connect, push the plug into the socket and lock with a quarter turn. The socket swivels, so you won’t have to twist your hose to attach the plug. It also has a rubber lip and large handles to prevent damage if it’s dropped.
A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately). They’re compatible with MannTek, Avery Hardoll, Todo-matic, and other dry-disconnect couplings that meet NATO standard STANAG 3756.
316 stainless steel couplings have excellent corrosion resistance.

Breakaway Hose Couplings for Chemicals and Petroleum
Minimize chemical and petroleum spills during accidental disconnects, such as a driver pulling away during loading. These couplings have a shut-off valve on each half to stop flow when they’re separated. Attach one end to your hose and the other to a supply pipe or a second hose.
316 stainless steel couplings have excellent corrosion resistance.
2 NPT and 3 NPT couplings have bolts designed to break before your hose does. They can be repaired with replacement bolt kits and replacement seal kits (both sold separately).
