Male Luer Lock 3/16″ Polycarbonate Hose Barb Adapter MTQY 10 Piece Set

Description

Product Overview

The MTQY Male Luer Lock 3/16″ polycarbonate hose barb adapter is engineered for precision‑critical environments where fluid integrity and durability are paramount. Constructed from high‑quality polycarbonate, the adapter combines the chemical resistance of PC with a robust, wear‑resistant barb that tolerates repeated connections without cracking or deformation. Each adapter features a pagoda‑shaped groove pattern that enhances grip on tubing, delivering a secure, anti‑slip fit that minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection during operation. The 10‑piece kit includes ten identical units, each weighing just 13.61 g, making them lightweight yet sturdy enough for demanding laboratory, food‑processing, and water‑handling applications. The compact package dimensions of 4.5 × 3.2 × 0.4 inches allow for easy storage and quick access when you need to replace or install fittings on the fly. Designed to meet an opening pressure not greater than 0.5 kPa and a maximum back pressure of at least 300 kPa, these adapters provide reliable performance across a broad pressure range, ensuring consistent flow control and preventing leaks in critical systems.

Usage

In modern biochemical laboratories, precise fluid handling is essential for accurate assay results. The MTQY Luer‑to‑barbed adapters seamlessly connect standard Luer lock syringes to polycarbonate or silicone tubing, enabling smooth transfer of reagents, samples, and calibration fluids without compromising sterility or introducing contamination. Beyond the lab, the adapters are equally effective in food‑processing lines where they link dispensing pumps to hoses that deliver sauces, oils, or cleaning solutions. Their non‑toxic, food‑grade polycarbonate construction complies with stringent safety standards, making them suitable for direct contact with consumable products. In water‑tank equipment and spray‑printing machinery, the adapters withstand high back‑pressure environments, delivering consistent spray patterns and preventing costly downtime caused by leaks. Massage equipment manufacturers also benefit from the adapters’ ability to connect fluid reservoirs to pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, ensuring reliable performance during therapeutic sessions. Across all these scenarios, the anti‑slip barb design simplifies installation—simply push the tubing onto the barb until it seats firmly, and the secure grip maintains a leak‑free connection even under vibration or movement.

FAQ

What types of tubing are compatible with this adapter?

The adapter is compatible with standard polycarbonate, silicone, and PVC tubing that matches the 3/16″ barb diameter. Ensure the tubing wall thickness is appropriate for the pressure range of your application to maintain a secure fit.

Can the adapters be used in sterile environments?

While the adapters are non‑sterile out of the package, they are made from non‑toxic polycarbonate and can be sterilized using standard autoclave cycles or chemical sterilants if required for your process.

What is the maximum temperature the adapter can withstand?

Polycarbonate maintains its mechanical properties up to approximately 120 °C (248 °F). For applications involving higher temperatures, consider using a material specifically rated for those conditions.

How does the anti‑slip barb design improve performance?

The pagoda‑shaped grooves on the barb increase surface contact with the tubing, creating a friction‑based lock that resists pull‑out forces. This design reduces the likelihood of leaks and eliminates the need for additional clamps in most installations.

Is there a warranty or return policy for these adapters?

MTQY offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues, contact our support team for replacement or troubleshooting assistance.
