Food and beverage couplings (NSF)
HFC35-NSF
HFC35 NSF are polysulfone quick disconnects for demanding service: physically strong, chemically resistant, tolerant of the cleaning solutions used to flush tubing and hose lines, and autoclavable. They operate from vacuum to 8.6 bar and from -40 to 138 °C with EPDM seals. An ergonomic body with a large shrouded thumb latch is easy to grip, and the valve design combines high flow with very low spillage. The parts are listed under the criteria of the NSF/ANSI standards.

How to choose HFC35-NSF
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | In this category | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Body | Polysulfone | Strong, chemically resistant and autoclavable. |
| Seal | EPDM | Suits water and cleaning solutions. |
| Temperature | -40 to 138 °C | Also for hot flushing and autoclaving. |
| Pressure | vacuum to 8.6 bar | Highest rating in the NSF range. |
| Valve | valved and non-valved | Valved versions release very little fluid on disconnect. |
| Termination | hose barb 9.5 mm (3/8") and 12.7 mm (1/2"), NPT 3/8" and 1/2", GHT | In-line, panel mount or threaded. |
| Colour | grey, almond, white, natural | Helps to identify lines. |
Frequently asked questions
- When is HFC35 the right choice?
- When lines are flushed regularly with cleaning solutions or parts are autoclaved. Polysulfone handles both, and the temperature range extends to 138 °C.
- What pressure is permitted?
- HFC35 is rated from vacuum to 8.6 bar.
- Which terminations are available?
- Hose barbs for 9.5 mm (3/8") and 12.7 mm (1/2"), NPT male threads in 3/8" and 1/2", and GHT threads. Mounting is free floating, panel mount or threaded.
- How does HFC35 differ from HFC12?
- Both have the large shrouded thumb latch. HFC12 is polypropylene for 0 to 71 °C; HFC35 is polysulfone for -40 to 138 °C and built for autoclaving and cleaning.
