SMC Polycarbonate

SMC Polycarbonate series couplings are a twist-to-connect coupling that provides a reliable and more secure alternative to luer-type connections. It also allows for the tubing to rotate freely when connected. This important feature prevents both kinked tubing and accidental disconnection during use.
