Cpc Colder Products PMCD1602NA Panel Mount Hose Barb Socket

Product Description

The CPC COLDER PRODUCTS PMCD1602NA is a panel mount hose barb female socket coupling designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, leak-resistant connection at a panel or bulkhead. Built from acetal (POM) with a Buna-N O-ring seal, this shutoff-style coupling handles working pressures up to 120 psi and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F. The 1/8 inch nominal flow size and 1/8 inch tube inside diameter make it well suited for low-flow tubing circuits in instrumentation, medical device, industrial, and fluid handling systems. Installation is handled by fluid system technicians and mechanical assemblers working with small-bore tubing.

This coupling is intended for panel or bulkhead mounting configurations where a female socket receives a corresponding male insert to form a complete quick-disconnect connection. The shutoff valve design automatically closes flow when the coupling is disconnected, reducing fluid spillage during servicing. Typical applications include cooling circuits, chemical dispensing lines, laboratory equipment, and light industrial fluid systems using 1/8 inch ID tubing. The acetal construction offers good resistance to many aqueous solutions, fuels, and mild chemicals, making it a practical choice for environments where metal fittings are not preferred.

Key Features

• Panel mount design allows bulkhead installation for clean, permanent plumbing connections
• Shutoff valve closes automatically upon disconnection to minimize fluid loss
• Acetal (POM) body provides chemical resistance and lightweight construction
• Buna-N O-ring seal rated for a wide range of aqueous and petroleum-based fluids
• Rated to 120 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 180 degrees F suits both cold and warm fluid circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for small-bore fluid systems using 1/8 inch ID hose barb tubing connections in panel or bulkhead mount configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fluid system technicians or mechanical assemblers following applicable fluid system codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines. Depressurize and drain the fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any coupling. Verify that the mating male insert is from a compatible CPC series before assembly to ensure a proper shutoff and seal. Inspect the Buna-N O-ring for damage before installation and replace it if any nicks or deformation are present.
