Kleenpak HT Connectors
The disposable Kleenpak™ connector allows for the dry connection of two separate fluid pathways while maintaining the sterile integrity of both.
For convenient and secure sterile connection of 13 mm (½ inch) nominal tubing
The disposable Kleenpak™ connector allows for the dry connection of two separate fluid pathways while maintaining the sterile integrity of both. The connector consists of a male and a female connector, each covered by a vented peel-away strip that protects the port and maintains the sterility of the sterile fluid pathway. The male and female connectors have a nominal ½ inch internal diameter with hose barbs that can be used with 13 mm (½ inch) nominal tubing and can be subjected to autoclave conditions to 130 °C (266 °F). Both can be gamma-irradiated.
