Boshart PQC-C Plastic Quick Connect Tube Coupling

The Boshart PQC-C is a plastic quick connect coupling built for point-of-use (POU) installations, water dispensing, filtering systems, food and beverage service, and agricultural or irrigation tubing runs. Available in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes, this push-fit fitting installs without crimp tools, adhesives, or clamps, and it can be removed and reused without damaging the tubing it connects to. The coupling body works across PVC, Polyethylene, PEX, and Copper tubing, giving plumbers and installers a single fitting family that adapts to whatever tube material is already in the line. Internal components include a stainless steel gripper ring and an NBR O-ring, giving the joint a durable, chemical-resistant seal without the labor of a soldered, crimped, or solvent-welded connection. Whether you're servicing a filtration system, dispensing line, or irrigation run, the PQC-C series delivers a tool-free connection that holds up to repeated use and chemical exposure.

Key Features

  • Size Range: Offered in 1/4" and 3/8" tube sizes to cover common POU and dispensing line requirements.
  • Push-Fit Connection: Quick connect assembly requires no crimp tools, adhesives, or clamps, cutting install time on POU and dispensing lines.
  • Reusable Design: The fitting can be removed and reinstalled without damaging the tubing, useful for service calls and filter changeouts.
  • Multi-Material Compatibility: Rated for use on PVC, Polyethylene, PEX, and Copper tubing, so one part number covers multiple tube types on a job.
  • Durable Construction: Plastic fitting body with a stainless steel gripper ring for tube retention and an NBR O-ring for the seal.
  • Chemical Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to most organic compounds, industrial chemicals, and gases, suited to food/beverage and agricultural chemical exposure.
  • Tube Support Compatible: Tube supports are sold separately and are recommended when used with soft tubing or hot liquids.

Why Boshart?

Boshart's PQC-C coupling series pairs a stainless steel gripper ring with an NBR O-ring inside a chemical-resistant plastic body, giving installers a fast, tool-free connection that still holds up to the organic compounds, industrial chemicals, and gases common in POU, food/beverage, and agricultural settings. Because the fitting works across PVC, Polyethylene, PEX, and Copper tubing and can be reused without damaging the tube, it reduces both installation time and the parts inventory a contractor needs to carry. Available in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes and shipped in packs of 10, this coupling series is easy to stock on service trucks or filtration builds.

Boshart PQC-C04 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Boshart PQC-C quick connect coupling work on PEX, or is it only for poly tubing?
The PQC-C push-fit coupling is rated for PVC, polyethylene, PEX and copper tubing, so the same fitting joins whichever of those is already in the line. That covers the common mix on a filtration or point-of-use job where a copper stub feeds a poly or PEX run. Sizes are 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch tube.
2) Do I need a crimp tool or solvent cement to install a Boshart PQC-C coupling?
No tools at all. The PQC-C is a push-fit coupling, so there is no crimping, no solvent weld, no solder and no clamps. Push the tube in and the stainless steel gripper ring holds it while the NBR O-ring seals. That is the main reason it gets used on service calls where there is no torch or press on the truck.
3) Do I need a tube support with the Boshart PQC-C, and when?
Tube supports are recommended with soft tubing or hot liquids, and they are sold separately, so budget for them on a soft poly or vinyl dispensing line. On rigid tube such as copper they are not called for. Order the support in the same tube size as the coupling, 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch.
4) Can a push-fit tube coupling be taken apart and reused, or is it a one-time fitting?
The PQC-C can be removed and reinstalled without damaging the tubing, which is what makes it practical for filter changeouts and repeat service on dispensing equipment. A crimped or solvent-welded joint has to be cut out; this one does not.
5) Is the Boshart PQC-C suitable for a food and beverage or coffee dispensing line?
Yes. The PQC-C series is built for point-of-use water installations, water dispensing equipment, filtration assembly, food and beverage service lines, and agricultural or irrigation runs. The plastic body offers resistance to most organic compounds, industrial chemicals and gases, and the fitting carries no Prop 65 warning.
6) What part number do I order for a 3/8 inch Boshart quick connect coupling, and how do they pack?
3/8 inch tube is PQC-C06 and 1/4 inch is PQC-C04. Both ship in packs of 10, which suits stocking a service truck or building out a filtration manifold.
7) Is this a coupling for joining two tubes, or does it have a threaded end?
The PQC-C is a straight tube coupling, push-fit on both ends, for joining two lengths of tube of the same size. There is no threaded connection on it, so if you need to transition to a pipe thread or a valve you want a different fitting in the quick connect family.
8) Is the gripper ring in the Boshart PQC-C metal or plastic?
The retention ring is stainless steel, inside a plastic fitting body, with an NBR O-ring doing the sealing. The stainless ring is what bites and holds the tube under line pressure; the plastic body is what keeps the fitting resistant to the chemicals seen in agricultural and food service lines.
