Cpc Colder Products PMC1604NA Panel Mount Hose Barb Female Socket

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS PMC1604NA is a panel mount hose barb female socket designed for fluid handling and quick-disconnect applications. It accepts a 1/4 inch inside diameter hose barb connection and provides a 1/8 inch nominal flow path. The acetal body construction resists moisture and many common chemicals, while the Buna-N O-ring ensures a reliable seal. Rated to 120 psi maximum working pressure and capable of operating across a wide temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F, this coupling suits demanding industrial and trade fluid circuit installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system technicians typically specify this fitting.

The PMC1604NA is suited for panel-mounted fluid distribution assemblies where a secure, bulkhead-style hose barb connection is required. The female socket style allows mating with a compatible male insert plug. It is commonly installed in process cooling lines, chemical distribution panels, and equipment fluid circuits where a positive panel seal and low nominal flow restriction are required. The 1/8 inch nominal flow size makes it appropriate for low-flow instrumentation and light fluid circuits rather than high-volume process lines.

Key Features

• Panel mount design for bulkhead-style installation through equipment panels or enclosures
• 1/8 inch nominal flow size suitable for low-flow fluid circuit applications
• 1/4 inch ID hose barb connection for direct tubing attachment
• Acetal body construction offers good chemical resistance and dimensional stability
• Buna-N O-ring provides a reliable face seal for the mated connection
• 120 psi maximum working pressure with a -40 to 180 degrees F operating temperature range

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style panel mount female socket for use in fluid handling systems requiring a 1/4 inch ID hose barb, 1/8 inch nominal flow quick-disconnect fitting. Verify mating male insert compatibility with the specific coupling series before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers or fluid system technicians. Depressurize and drain the fluid circuit fully before removing or installing any coupling component. Ensure the panel cutout diameter matches the fitting body dimensions and that the retaining nut is tightened adequately to prevent rotation or leakage. Verify that the system fluid and operating temperature are compatible with acetal and Buna-N materials before placing the fitting in service.
