WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Many RO systems already make use of PLC quick
disconnect couplings to attach to pre-filtered water lines
and down stream pumps, tanks or dialysis machines.
Larger systems can be quickly isolated or recycled for
flushing or sanitizing purposes by using HFC35 couplings.
Dispensing sanitizing chemistries to water systems can also
be facilitated by using polypropylene PLC12 couplings.

Biomedical Technicians (“Biomed Techs”) who service
dialysis equipment, RO water treatment systems and
dialyzer reprocessing equipment can save time and
money by using couplings to disconnect equipment
from acid, bicarbonate, RO water and disinfectant
service lines. Replacement tubing, piping, pumps and
tank vent filters can also be brought on line rapidly
using quick disconnects to minimize down time.
Choose a coupling with a shutoff valve to prevent spills.

RO water line connections: Consider acetal PLC with
Buna-N seals or polysulfone HFC35 with EPDM seals.
Sanitizing chemical connections: Consider polypropylene
PLC12 and DrumQuik® PRO with EPDM seals.

Acid/bicarbonate and
chemical waste pumps and
line connections: Consider
polypropylene HFC12 with
EPDM seals.

CLINICAL DIALYSIS
APPLICATIONS
Used in chemical and water applications
worldwide, high performance quick disconnect
couplings may be used in dialysis clinics on
everything from the acid and bicarbonate lines to
the water lines used on reverse osmosis (RO)
water treatment systems. Save time reconnecting
pipe threads and tubing onto fixtures and hose
barbs by installing quality quick disconnect
couplings. Utilize a valved quick coupling to
minimize drips and spills.

RO water line connections:
Consider polysulfone HFC35 with
EPDM seals.
Tank vent filter connections:
Consider polypropylene PLC12 with EPDM seals for
chemical tanks or acetal PLC with Buna-N seals for RO
water tanks.

DIALYSIS EQUIPMENT
Quick disconnect couplings are a
great solution for connecting dialysis
machines to acid, bicarbonate, RO water
and chemical waste service lines or
containers.* Tubing and piping internal
to the dialysis machine which require
frequent connect/disconnect cycles can
also be fitted with couplings for ease of
maintenance. With tubing hose barb
connections as small as 1/16" and pipe
threads as small as 1/8" NPT, there are a
wide range of coupling sizes.

ACID/BICARBONATE MIXING SYSTEM
Pumps and tank vent filters can be
replaced easily when fitted with
quick disconnect couplings. The
DrumQuik® PRO drum connector will
also provide a safe, closed connection
to concentrated liquid acid or
bicarbonate drums.
Acid/bicarbonate pumps and line
connections: Consider polypropylene
HFC12 with EPDM seals.
Acid/bicarbonate tank vent filter connections: Consider polypropylene
PLC12 with EPDM seals.
Dispensing line connections to drums: Consider polypropylene
DrumQuik® PRO with EPDM seals.

Acid/bicarbonate line connections:
Consider polypropylene PLC12 with
EPDM seals.
RO water line connections: Consider
polysulfone HFC35 with EPDM seals.
Chemical waste line connections:
Consider polypropylene HFC12 with
EPDM seals.
Small to medium lines internal to
dialysis equipment: Consider SMC in
acetal, polypropylene or polycarbonate;
APC in acetal; MPC in medical-grade
ABS, polycarbonate or polysulfone.
*Some dialysis OEM’s require use of proprietary
couplings for service connections.

ON-SITE DIALYZER
REUSE REPROCESSING
Quick connects on dialyzer
water flush manifolds and reuse
reprocessing equipment quickly
and securely connect the dialyzer
filter element
to reprocessing
equipment, or to
connect reprocessing
equipment to
chemical bag-in-box
containers or service
lines.
Dialyzer quick
connects: Consider
APC in acetal, or
MPC in ABS, polycarbonate or
medical-grade polysulfone.
Chemical bag-in-box connections:
Consider polypropylene Puncture
Seal (PS) or UDC.

PORTABLE SYSTEMS
RE-CHARGING AND MAINTENANCE
By modularizing equipment with quick disconnect couplings, portable RO, carbon
tanks and dialysis equipment can be quickly and easily swapped out for repair
and preventative maintenance or off-site re-charging.
Automatic shutoff valves minimize spillage during
changeovers.
Acid/bicarbonate and chemical waste line connections:
Consider polypropylene PLC12 with EPDM seals.
RO water line connections: Consider PLC with Buna-N
seals.
