Why should I use molded components instead of hose barbs?
Molded components offer significant advantages over hose barbs because they offer superior cleanliness and product protection. Unlike hose barbs, molded components have no seams or crevices where unwanted contaminants can hide. Because the molded connection is bonded directly to the tubing, potential failure and hold up points are virtually eliminated, saving your company from significant financial and product loss.

Can platinum-cured silicone be connected to C-Flex® tubing?
To date, C-Flex and platinum-cured silicone tubing cannot be molded together. The best way to connect the two is by molding a tri-clamp end onto both pieces and then joining them. A molded tri-clamp reduces seams and crevices, offering a more pure system than hose barbs.
