Cpc Colder Products PLC17004 Inline Hose Barb Coupling

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS PLC17004 is an inline hose barb female socket coupling designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, tool-free push-to-connect interface. Built from acetal (POM) with a Buna-N o-ring seal, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 120 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F. The 1/4 inch nominal flow size and 1/4 inch tube inside diameter make it a compact, lightweight solution at 0.15 pounds. It is typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working on fluid line assemblies.

This coupling is suited for inline hose barb connections in low-to-medium pressure fluid systems, including cooling lines, chemical dosing circuits, and equipment fluid loops. The female socket end accepts a standard mating insert, allowing quick disconnection and reconnection without tools. Typical install scenarios include OEM equipment plumbing, laboratory fluid lines, and light industrial process tubing where the 1/4 inch ID tubing is routed inline and periodic service access is needed.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) body construction resists moisture, mild chemicals, and dimensional creep
• Buna-N o-ring provides a reliable seal across the full operating temperature range
• 120 psi maximum working pressure suits most low-to-medium pressure fluid circuits
• Wide service temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F covers most indoor and outdoor fluid applications
• 1/4 inch nominal flow and 1/4 inch tube inside diameter for direct hose barb connection
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds, minimizing load on flexible tubing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline hose barb female socket coupling compatible with standard 1/4 inch ID flexible tubing in fluid transfer systems. Accepts mating CPC COLDER PRODUCTS male inserts sized for 1/4 inch nominal flow.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or fluid system technicians following applicable IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the fluid line fully before disconnecting or replacing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and fully seated onto the hose barb before securing; no tools are required at the quick-connect socket end. Verify that fluid media compatibility with acetal and Buna-N is confirmed before placing the fitting into service.
