Back-to-Back Adapters

See Back-to-Back Adapters Products

MPC/MPX Back-to-Back Adapters give end users the flexibility of connecting single-use systems that feature identical coupling connections at the end of their tubing. Combining both MPC and MPX couplings provides a reducing option for users who need to transition between tubing diameters ranging from 1/8” to 1/2”.
