How to Choose the Right Connector

With so many connection options, it can difficult to determine which connector is best suited for a specific application. By understanding your application requirements and selecting the correct connection type, you can achieve better performance and sealing results.

Assessing the Application

Understanding your application is the key to proper selection of a connection.

Determining Connection Type

Fittings, luers and couplings are the most common tubing connectors. While each is appropriate for certain types of applications, they are not necessarily interchangeable. It’s important to specify the connector that meets the specific application requirements.

Material Options

The type of media flowing through a connection can affect the strength, surface appearance, color and performance of the connection.

O-Ring Selection

Selecting the correct o-ring material can offer you better chemical resistance while others can offer better heat resistance or cold flexibility within your application.

How Colder Can Help

Pressure, temperature, chemical type and concentration as well as operating environment can affect the performance of a connector. If you need further assistance in determining chemical compatibility, Colder’s technical staff can answer questions and provide product samples to test in your own application conditions.
