Metal Male Luer Lock Syringe Fitting to 8mm or 5/16″ Barb Hose (2 Units)

Description

Product Overview

The DYNAPEX metal male Luer lock syringe fitting is engineered to create a robust, leak‑free interface between standard syringes and 8 mm (5/16″) barbed hoses. Constructed from high‑quality nickel plated brass, the fitting combines the corrosion resistance of brass with an added protective nickel layer, extending service life even in demanding chemical environments. Its metric tapered thread ensures a tight, secure seal that meets industry standards for both medical and industrial applications. The fitting includes a female Luer end that mates seamlessly with compatible syringes, while the opposite barb end is sized to accept hoses with an inner diameter of 8 mm, providing a versatile solution for a wide range of fluid transfer tasks. Each package contains two identical fittings, allowing users to quickly assemble dual‑line systems or maintain a spare for future needs. The compact design occupies minimal space, making it ideal for dense equipment layouts where space is at a premium.

Usage

These fittings excel in laboratory environments where precise fluid handling is critical, such as chromatography, sample preparation, and reagent dispensing. The secure Luer lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnection during high‑pressure injections, safeguarding both the experiment and the operator. In medical settings, the fitting is suitable for infusion pumps, syringe pumps, and other therapeutic devices that require reliable, sterile connections. Beyond the lab, the fitting serves industrial applications including hydraulic testing rigs, pneumatic control systems, and small‑scale manufacturing processes where accurate dosing of liquids or gases is required. Its compatibility with standard 8 mm barbed hoses means it can be integrated into existing tubing networks without the need for custom adapters, reducing installation time and cost. The fitting’s robust construction also makes it appropriate for field use, where exposure to temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress is common.

FAQ

What types of fluids can be used with this fitting?

The fitting is suitable for a wide range of liquids, including water‑based solutions, solvents, acids, and bases, provided the fluid does not exceed the material compatibility limits of brass and nickel plating. For highly corrosive chemicals, consult the material safety data sheet to confirm suitability.

Is the fitting compatible with standard Luer lock syringes?

Yes, the female Luer end conforms to the ISO 594‑1 standard for Luer lock connections, ensuring compatibility with most commercially available syringes used in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings.

Can the fitting be sterilized for medical use?

The nickel plated brass construction tolerates common sterilization methods such as autoclaving at 121 °C for up to 30 minutes. However, repeated high‑temperature cycles may affect the nickel coating over time, so it is recommended to inspect the fitting regularly for signs of wear.

How do I install the fitting correctly?

Begin by cleaning both the Luer lock surface and the barb end of any debris. Insert the barb end into the hose, ensuring it is fully seated. Twist the Luer lock portion clockwise until it is firmly engaged with the syringe. Verify the connection by applying a low pressure test to confirm there are no leaks before full‑scale operation.

What is the warranty coverage for this product?

DYNAPEX provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or exposure to incompatible chemicals. Contact our support team with the purchase details to initiate a warranty claim.
