Quick Connect Couplings - Need to make a quick & easy connection?
Quick Connect Couplings are fittings designed for changing out lines quickly and easily. They are made to be connected and disconnected without the use of tools, or losing product.
Our miniature couplings range is available in a wide variety of metal and plastic materials. Coupling specification options include selectable mounting type and connection type with many of our couplings range available with valve and non-valve flow control.
Plastic Material Options: Metal Material Options:
ABS Aluminium
Acetal Natural Brass
Nylon Chrome Plated Brass
Polycarbonate Stainless Steel
Polypropylene
We have three mounting style options including In-Line, Panel Mount and Threaded. Mating options for our range of couplings include thumb latch, twist lock, side latch, multiple bulkhead, plastic luers, blood pressure and enteral feeding couplings.
Thumb Latch - One handed disconnection
Thumb latch couplings are operated by means of a mechanical latch on the female coupling. This allows for one-handed connection and disconnection of the female and male halves. An audible ‘click’ confirms when the couplings are fully connected, providing a safe and secure connection. Once couplings are connected unrestricted free rotation prevents kinking and twisting of tubing/termination. Eox offers these in both plastic and metal.

Key features include:
• Audible click to ensure secure connection
• One-handed disconnection
• Easy to grip during operation
• Available in various mounting styles
• Medical grade material options available
• Connects with other thumb-latch type couplings
• Valved/Non-Valved options available
• Resistant to most chemicals and suitable for industrial and medical applications
Twist Lock - Prevent misconnection with other types of connectors
Twist lock couplings require a two-handed operation, twist to lock and twist to release. These couplings are easy to use and to know when safely coupled. By way of an audible ‘click’ or a ‘hard stop’ you can be sure the couplings are fully connected, providing safe and secure use. It prevents kinked tubing and accidental disconnection during use.
Eox provides a huge range of media bag connections with twist-lock options along with a range for pouch fitments in male-female options. Click here to view our range of twist lock couplings
Key features include:
• Utilising the twist lock method the twist lock is easy to use and align
• Audible click to ensure a secure connection
• Quarter turn operation
• Resistant to most chemicals and suitable for industrial and medical applications
• Ideal for general purpose and single-use application
• Cleanroom manufacturing available
• Double O-ring
• Wing feature
Sliding Latch - Aseptic & spring free flow path
These sliding latch couplings can be connected with one hand by way of a sliding latch. An audible ‘click’ confirms correct connection. The ‘spring-free’ flow path allows for larger volumes to pass through at lower pressures, reducing restrictions and turbulence. The innovative design means on valved option couplings you have no leaking when disconnecting. These couplings are Aseptic - free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms; surgically sterile or sterilised. Other colours available on request.

Key features include:
• Audible click to ensure secure connection
• Single handed disconnection
• Safety slide release minimises accidental disconnections
• No leaking on Valved option couplings when disconnecting
• Spring free flow path
• Resistant to most chemicals and suitable for industrial and medical applications
• Valved/Non-Valved options available
• USP Class VI/ISO10993 compliant materials
• PP (Radiation, EtO)
• PVDF (Autoclave, Radiation, EtO)
• Cleanroom option on request
Blood Pressure - Reduce misconnection with our ISO 80369-5 couplings
The male half of this coupling complies with the blood pressure industry standard ISO 80369-5, meaning it will interconnect with all other couplings designed to this standard. The tight dimensional specifications to meet ISO 80369 mean that misconnection with any other series of coupling is greatly reduced.
The ergonomic and lightweight design of the female coupling, and simple button operation, allow for single handed connection and disconnection. This ease of use and reduction in weight is meaning many end users are swapping out existing metal couplings for this design. Click here to view our range of blood pressure couplings
Key features include:
• ISO 80369-5
• Male connectors work well with both compliant and non-compliant bayonet-style female connectors on the market
• Significantly reduces the probability of misconnection
• Reliable elastomeric seals inside the body allows for connector rotation reducing tubing kinks
• Prevents accidental disconnect or kinked tubing
• Audible click when connected
• Single handed operation
• FDA approved
• Compatible with sterilisation process
Multiple Bulkhead - Multi-line couplings reducing installation time
The multiple bulkhead coupling is ideal for connecting many media lines/bundle tubing, together at the same time. This allows for quick and easy swapping out of tooling/equipment, saving valuable downtime. Strong, but of lightweight plastic or anodised aluminium construction, they allow for easy handling, and a slide latch release allows for easy connection and disconnection of all lines simultaneously.

Key features include:
• Multi line connection in single unit
• Fast efficient operation
• Reduce installation time
• Separate flow paths
• Valved/Non-Valved options available on socket side
• Keyed to prevent misalignment
• Resistant to most chemicals
Metal only:
• Different pressure in each channel - pressure and or vacuum in one coupling
• Different key options available
• Different colour options available on request
Sliding Collar - All 316 Stainless Steel couplings
These sliding collar couplings can be connected with one hand by way of a sliding collar.
