Cpc Colder Products 42300 Push-to-connect Connector 1/4in

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS 42300 is a push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for fast, tool-free tubing connections in fluid-handling systems. Machined from polyoxymethylene (POM), a rigid acetal-based thermoplastic known for chemical resistance and dimensional stability, this connector joins 1/4-inch OD tubing to a 1/4-inch NPT threaded port. It is rated to 120 psi and suits low-pressure pneumatic and liquid-line applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment service technicians commonly install this type of fitting in OEM assemblies, appliance water lines, and light commercial fluid circuits.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable push-to-connect termination is needed at an NPT-threaded port. Typical scenarios include water dispensing equipment, filtration systems, ice-maker lines, and similar fluid circuits that use 1/4-inch OD tubing. Its white POM body is compatible with many common water-treatment and beverage-equipment environments where metal fittings are undesirable or unnecessary.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design eliminates the need for clamps, ferrules, or special tooling during installation
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) body offers strong chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Rated to 120 psi for use in low-to-medium pressure fluid and pneumatic lines
• 1/4-inch NPT thread provides a standardized, widely compatible port connection
• Accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing for a secure, leak-resistant push-in grip
• White color aids visual identification in multi-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect NPT connector for use with 1/4-inch OD tubing in fluid-handling assemblies and equipment requiring NPT-threaded port connections rated to 120 psi.

Installation Notes

Shut off and depressurize the fluid or air line completely before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the connector body, as a damaged tube end can compromise the internal collet seal. Verify that the NPT threads are clean and apply thread sealant tape or compound per applicable plumbing code requirements before threading the fitting into the port. Do not exceed the 120 psi pressure rating in service.
