Hybrid and RFID couplings
RFID couplings
CPC RFID couplings with IdentiQuik technology recognise which device or medium is being connected, preventing mix-ups in systems with several fluid lines. The range includes NS4 non-spill inserts, PLC12 shut-off inserts with a 1/4" hose barb, UDC valve caps for containers with a 38 mm neck and the iMAR reader with antennas for up to eight connections. Depending on the series, pressure reaches 8.3 bar and temperature 0 to 66 °C, with some versions up to 71 °C.

How to choose RFID couplings
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Available | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Series | NS4, PLC12, UDC, iMAR | NS4 non-spill, PLC12 shut-off, UDC for containers, iMAR as reader. |
| Connection | 1/4" hose barb (6.4 mm), 38 mm container neck | UDC caps screw on or snap in. |
| Pressure | up to 8.3 bar | NS4 and PLC12 up to 8.3 bar, UDC up to about 1 bar when coupled. |
| Temperature | 0 to 66 °C, up to 71 °C | Check the value for each item. |
| Housing | Polypropylene, acetal (POM), polycarbonate | Polycarbonate only on the reader. |
| Seal | EPDM, EPDM with silicone | UDC caps also available with an EPDM thread seal. |
Frequently asked questions
- What does an IdentiQuik coupling do?
- Besides the fluid it transfers information: an RFID tag in the insert or valve cap is read when the coupling is connected. The system can then identify the device type or medium, verify that the line is connected correctly and capture fluid and product data.
- What is the iMAR reader for?
- The iMAR monitors up to eight fluid connections with one unit instead of a separate reader per line. It works with PLC12 panel-mount bodies and PLC12 series RFID inserts.
- Which series suits bulk containers?
- UDC valve caps fit containers with a 38 mm neck, including bag-in-box as well as flexible and rigid packaging. The UDC series is NSF-listed and suitable for beverages, condiments and other food products.
- Which coupling if not a single drop may escape?
- The NS4 insert with IdentiQuik has non-spill valves and can be disconnected under pressure. It is rated up to 8.3 bar and made of glass-filled polypropylene.
