Quick-Disconnect Tube Couplings for Food and Beverage
- Temperature Range:
Acetal Plastic: -40° to 180° F
Polypropylene Plastic: 32° to 160° F - Tubing:
Barbed Fittings: Use with soft or firm (Durometer 65A-80A) polyurethane rubber
Compression Fittings: Use with hard or firm (Durometer 80A-60D) nylon or polyethylene plastic - Specifications Met: NSF/ANSI 169
Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug. They’re made of FDA-approved materials, including moisture-resistant plastic that won’t absorb liquid and lose strength, even in high-humidity food and beverage applications.
Plugs and sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated, so fluid won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.
Barbed plugs insert into tubing and secure with a clamp.

Barbed sockets insert into tubing and secure with a clamp.
Through-wall sockets are also known as bulkhead sockets and panel-mount sockets; they mount through your wall or panel to create an inlet or outlet.

Protective Plastic Plugs for Cam-and-Groove
Hose Sockets for Food and Beverage
A cap, bumper, and handle in one. Not only do these fittings seal your food or beverage line, they extend past the socket’s levers, so they take the brunt of damage from bumps and drops. Grab the handle to haul and maneuver your hose into place. Made of FDA listed materials, these plugs won’t impart tastes or odors to the product. To install, insert into your cam-and-groove socket and press its levers down.
