MPC

MPC Series couplings add ease of use and security to your most critical fluid handling applications. Choose from a full line of connectors and configurations, including pressure sealing caps and plugs, in sizes to fit 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" tubing. MPC couplings offer optional locking sleeves to further guard against accidental disconnects. In addition, coupling halves can be rotated when connected to reduce tube kinks.
