All Value Plastics luer fittings, luer adapters and luer accessories are made to the ISO-594-1 standard, and may be connected to other luers meeting ISO standards. Please test your application to verify the performance of the interconnection.

Value Plastics luer fittings, luer adapters, and luer accessories are part of a standardized system of small-scale tubing connectors used to make secure leak-proof unions in medical devices and laboratory instruments. The special 6 degree taper of a luer fitting provides a unique secure friction seal appropriate for gas and fluid connections. The Value Plastics barb (on luer fittings featuring a barbed tubing connection) has no parting lines on the barb to ensure a leak-free tubing union.

The two main categories of luer fittings are lock luers and slip luers. Female lock luers utilize lugs or threads that engage securely with special threads on the male lock luers. Male lock luers are available in versions with integral lock rings or with rotatable features to permit tubing positioning prior to assembly. Slip luers utilize the luer taper to provide a secure friction connection; the 6 degree taper on a male luer engages with the female luer 6 degree taper.
