How to choose DPC
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | What matters | In the range |
|---|---|---|
| Shut-off | With valves both lines stay closed when disconnected; non-valved versions give more flow. | DPC non-valved, DPCD valved with 316 stainless steel spring |
| Tube size | The barb has to match the tubing inner diameter. | Hose barb 1/4" (6.4 mm) or 3/8" (9.5 mm) |
| Body and insert | Both halves are ordered separately and must match in valving and size. | Coupling bodies and inserts, in-line, valved 3/8" also for panel mounting |
| Pressure and temperature | Keep operating conditions within the series ratings. | Vacuum to 8.3 bar, 0 to 82 °C |
| Seal | The seal has to suit the fluid. | NBR |
Frequently asked questions
- What is the DPC series for?
- For applications where two fluid lines are always connected and released together, such as supply and return of a device. Both lines connect in one movement.
- What is the difference between DPC and DPCD?
- DPCD parts have a shut-off valve with a 316 stainless steel spring and close both lines on disconnection. Non-valved DPC parts have an open flow path and suit lines that are depressurised and drained before separation.
- What pressure can the DPC series handle?
- The series is rated from vacuum to 8.3 bar at temperatures from 0 to 82 °C.
- Can the DPC coupling be mounted in a panel?
- The valved coupling body with 3/8" hose barb is available as a panel-mount version; the other parts are designed for in-line use.
