Medical couplings
SMC polycarbonate
The CPC SMC polycarbonate series is a twist-to-connect coupling for small tubing and a more secure replacement for luer fittings. Once connected, the tubing rotates freely, so it neither kinks nor comes apart by accident. Housings are polycarbonate, seals NBR (Buna-N), with hose barbs for 1/16" and 1/8" tubing. The series is rated from vacuum to 6.9 bar at -40 to 121 °C.

- How does SMC differ from a luer connection?
- SMC couples with a twist and gives a more dependable, more secure joint. The tubing can turn freely while connected, which prevents kinks and accidental release.
- Which tubing is SMC made for?
- For small tubing with a 1/16" (1.6 mm) or 1/8" (3.2 mm) hose barb.
- Which parts are available?
- In-line coupling bodies, inserts and complete coupling sets, all non-valved, with a polycarbonate housing and a Buna-N seal.
- What pressure and temperature ratings apply?
- SMC is rated from vacuum to 6.9 bar, with a temperature range of -40 to 121 °C.
