Cpc Colder Products PLCD1600612NA Hose Barb Female Socket

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS PLCD1600612NA is a panel mount hose barb female socket coupling designed for quick-connect fluid transfer applications. It features a 1/4 inch nominal flow size and accepts hose with a 3/8 inch inside diameter. The body is molded from polypropylene with an EPDM O-ring seal, making it well-suited for water and light chemical service. Rated to 120 psi maximum working pressure and operable across a temperature range of 32 to 160 degrees F, this fitting delivers reliable shutoff performance in industrial, medical, or cooling system panel installations. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid system integrators are the typical installers.

This fitting is intended for panel mount installations where a secure, through-panel fluid connection is required. The hose barb end accepts flexible tubing with a 3/8 inch ID, and the female socket provides a mating point for compatible CPC COLDER PRODUCTS male inserts. Typical applications include chilled water distribution panels, coolant manifolds, and equipment enclosures in light commercial and industrial settings where shutoff-style quick disconnects are specified. The polypropylene construction limits compatibility to non-aggressive aqueous fluids and low-concentration chemical solutions within the stated temperature and pressure limits.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or fluid system technicians. Depressurize and drain the fluid circuit completely before installing or removing any coupling. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions match the fitting body specifications and that the retaining nut is tightened to the fitting manufacturer guidelines. Verify fluid compatibility with polypropylene and EPDM before placing the fitting in service.
