MDC’s Kwik-Flange™ KF to PVC Hose Hybrid Adapters are engineered to bridge rigid KF flanges with reinforced PVC hose, enabling fast, flexible connections in high-vacuum systems. With beveled hose ends designed specifically for MDC’s reinforced PVC hose, these adapters help maintain vacuum integrity while simplifying setup and removal.

Manufactured from 300 series stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. Each fitting allows for secure clamping using hose clamps (sold separately) to ensure a vacuum-tight seal. These hybrid adapters are perfect for pumping lines, temporary vacuum connections, or roughing stages.

Rated to 1x10⁻⁸ Torr (1.33x10⁻⁶ Pa) and bakeout temperatures up to 200°C, they combine flexibility and performance in compact, easy-to-install components.

Industry applications

Ideal for lab-scale vacuum systems, pilot-scale setups, and industrial roughing lines, MDC’s KF to PVC Hose Adapters are used wherever reliable high-vacuum hose connections are required. These adapters simplify connections to pumps, chambers, and instrumentation in research, process engineering, and analytical equipment applications. Their hybrid geometry supports versatile transitions without compromising performance.
