Cpc Colder Products HFC171235 Hose Barb Coupling 3/8 in

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS HFC171235 is a female inline hose barb-to-female socket coupling designed for fluid transfer applications in industrial, HVAC, and process systems. Built from polysulfone with an EPDM O-ring seal, it handles a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 280 degrees F. The 3/8 inch nominal flow size paired with a 3/4 inch inside diameter barb makes it suited for medium-flow line connections. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this fitting when connecting hose assemblies that require a secure, leak-resistant push-to-connect or barb-style termination.

This coupling is used in inline fluid line installations where a female socket connection mates with a corresponding male insert. Its polysulfone construction resists a broad range of chemicals, making it appropriate for cooling loops, process fluid lines, and equipment plumbing in both commercial and light industrial environments. The wide temperature tolerance supports use in refrigerated systems as well as elevated-temperature process applications. It ships individually and is available in single-unit quantities, making it practical for service replacement or system commissioning work.

Key Features

• Polysulfone body offers strong chemical resistance and dimensional stability across a wide temperature range
• EPDM O-ring provides reliable sealing for water, steam, and many process fluids
• Maximum working pressure of 125 psi suits most low-to-medium-pressure fluid circuits
• Operating range of -40 to 280 degrees F covers refrigerated and moderate heat applications
• 3/8 inch nominal flow with 3/4 inch ID hose barb accommodates standard medium-bore hose assemblies
• Inline female socket configuration allows direct integration into existing hose or tubing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline coupling for hose barb fluid line assemblies requiring a female socket termination with a 3/8 inch nominal flow size and 3/4 inch inside diameter barb interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and drain the fluid system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 3/4 inch barb specification and that the mating male insert is compatible with the female socket before assembly. Follow applicable piping codes, including IPC or relevant process-industry standards, for pressure-rated connections.
