When it comes to retaining flexible tubing and hose onto barbed fittings, BarbLock™ retainers have become the standard in many industries because they solve inherent leak path problems in sensitive and demanding applications. The retainer uses no adhesives or solvents, is ideal for systems transferring delicate liquids or gases.
- Replaces inconsistent and leak-prone cable ties and traditional clamps
- Compatible with all flexible tubing materials
- Provides 360° radial crimp behind the barb
- Supplies 360° compression over the barb and full dynamic retention
- Eliminates solvent bonding, ultraviolet bonding and toxic adhesives
- Constructed with high-performance PVDF resin that is USP Class VI compliant
- Quick and easy to assemble
- Sterilisable by gamma irradiation
The standard retainer is a two-piece unit (sleeve and collet), while the one-piece AL retainer combines the sleeve and collet and can be automatically loaded into assembly. The system is quick and easy to assemble. BarbLock retainers are fully compatible with Pure-Fit® SIB® fittings and provide complete 360° compression for leak-free connections. PP (polypropylene) and PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) BarbLocks are gamma stable. It is ideal for applications such as single-use assemblies, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, aseptic and sterile fill lines, filtration, general laboratory, final fill, product sampling and fluid transfer.
