Is the Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 suitable for autoclaving and what temperature/pressure limits apply?

Yes . the Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 is suitable for autoclaving. Its material and seals support sterilization within the stated operating limits: temperature range â40Â°C to +138Â°C and working pressure up to 8.6 bar. Sealing is via an EPDM O-ring and the coupling is described as having high mechanical strength and chemical resistance, explicitly noting suitability for autoclaving. When autoclaving, ensure cycle temperature and pressure do not exceed +138Â°C and 8.6 bar respectively to avoid damaging the polysulfone body or EPDM seal.

Can the Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 be used with aggressive chemicals and which seals resist them?

Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 can be used with many aggressive chemicals thanks to its polysulfone body and stated chemical resistance; it is suitable for chemical photographic processes, battery/accumulator filling, sprayers and other chemical applications. However compatibility depends on the specific chemical (concentration, temperature, exposure time). The standard seal is an EPDM Oâring, which resists many acids, alkalis and polar solvents but is not suitable for strong oils, hydrocarbons, ketones or certain aggressive organic solvents. For highly aggressive media or hydrocarbons, request alternative seal materials (e.g. FKM/Viton, PTFE) and verify with chemical compatibility charts. Also confirm operating temperature and pressure (â40Â°C to +138Â°C, up to 8.6 bar) for your fluid conditions.

Can the Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 be autoclaved repeatedly without losing mechanical strength?

Yes. The Hose quick-connection socket, polysulfone, HFC series DN 12.7 can be autoclaved repeatedly without losing mechanical strength. The product description explicitly states it is suitable for autoclaving and highlights high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Polysulfone as the body material and EPDM o-ring sealing support operation across a wide temperature range (â40Â°C to +138Â°C) and working pressures up to 8.6 bar, consistent with repeated steam sterilization. For specific sterilization cycles (temperature, duration, number of cycles) or critical applications, verify with the manufacturer or test under your exact autoclave conditions to confirm long-term performance.

Additional information

Material	P – material (plastic)

Quick coupling socket with hose end, with and without shut-off valve, intended for water, chemical, pneumatic installations, etc. Compared to traditional massive couplings with balls and securing sleeve, it has a very low weight. Ergonomic shape and large disconnect button enhance manipulation comfort and ease of use. Very efficient valve allows for high flow rates and minimal leakage. This coupling also allows for slight rotation of the connected hose, preventing twisting and accidental disconnection. Applications: chemical photographic processes, battery and accumulator filling installations, sprayers, pneumatic installations, and non-freezing liquids, etc. It features high mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Suitable for autoclaving. Length L [mm] – total length. Material: polysulfone. Sealing: EPDM o-ring. Working pressure: up to 8.6 bar. Operating temperature: from -40°C to +138°C.
