Cpc Colder Products 42800 Push-to-connect Connector 1/4 in

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS 42800 is a push-to-connect tube fitting connector designed for quick, tool-free fluid line connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling systems. Constructed from polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-strength engineering thermoplastic, this connector accepts tubing with a 1/4 inch inside diameter and is rated to 120 psi. The white POM body resists moisture, mild chemicals, and repeated connect-disconnect cycles. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system installers use this fitting where fast, reliable inline connections are required without soldering or compression tools.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving tubing runs in refrigeration equipment, HVAC condensate lines, water treatment systems, and similar low-pressure fluid circuits that use 1/4 inch ID tubing. The push-to-connect mechanism allows tubing to be inserted and locked in place in a single motion, reducing installation time on multi-connection manifold assemblies or field-repair situations where access is limited.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure locking
• Rated to 120 psi for reliable performance in low-to-medium pressure fluid systems
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) construction provides chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Accepts 1/4 inch inside diameter tubing for compatibility with common fluid-handling line sizes
• White color aids visual identification in multi-line installations
• Compact connector form supports inline tubing joins without bulky hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for fluid-handling systems using 1/4 inch ID tubing in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting tubing, shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure completely. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a proper tube cutter to achieve a full, leak-free seat inside the fitting. Verify the tubing outside diameter matches the fitting specification before insertion, as push-to-connect fittings rely on a precise dimensional fit to seal correctly.
