The main reason we're going with these is the thumb-lock mechanism—it actually clicks audibly when seated, so you know it's sealed without having to tug on it, which matters when you're dealing with sensitive fluid lines in medical gear or enviromental samplers where a loose connection means a ruined batch or contaminated sample.
Working pressure sits at 120psi (8.3bar) and the temperture range is -40°C to 82°C, so it covers most lab and field conditions we typically see, and PP grey housing with FKM or EPDM seals gives decent chemical resisance for the usual solvents and cleaning agents we run through these lines.
For tubing sizes you've got 9.5mm, 12.7mm, or 19.0mm options, and thread choices are 3/8"-3/8NPT or 1/2"-14NPT—most buyers go with the 12.7mm and 3/8NPT combo for standard setups, but check your existing fittings before ordering.
They're compatible with CPC PMC/PLC series and LinkTech AC20/AC40 series, so if you're swapping out older connectors form those lines, these should drop in without re-plumbing everything, which saves time and reduces leak points.
Sourcing-wise, we usually have stock for US and EU orders, but confirm lead time if you need over 200 units or so—import docs and compliance certs (COA, SDS, material declarations) are available on request, though it typically takes 5-7 business days to pull them together.
One thing they're not great for is high-viscosity fluids or continuous duty above 80°C for extended periods—the FKM seals start to soften around 85°C or so, so if you're running hot oils or thick slurries, you'll want a different seal material entirely.
We can provide certifications like material declarations or test reports upon request—just let us know what you need when placing the order, and we'll include the relevant docs.
Our MOQ for the Q60 series is typically 100 pieces per size and thread option, but we can discuss smaller quantities for trial orders if you're just starting out.
Yes, they're designed for direct compatibility with CPC PMC/PLC and LinkTech AC20/AC40 series—no adapters needed, just plug and play with those systems.
Lead time is usually 2-3 weeks for standard sizes like 19.0mm with 1/2''-14NPT, but we can expedite if you need them faster—just ask for a rush order.
Yes, they're rated for continuous use up to 82°C, but for that range, we recommend FKM seals over EPDM since FKM holds up better at higher temperatures and resists chemical degradation.
