No spills for lightweight quick coupling

NSH Series couplings provide the first lightweight, durable and economical alternative for low-pressure applications where chemical resistance and non-spill disconnects are critical requirements.

Colder Products' new patented NSH Series couplings provide the first lightweight, durable and economical alternative for low-pressure applications where chemical resistance and non-spill disconnects are critical requirements.

Until now, the only choices were expensive, heavy, metal non-spill couplings that were designed for high-pressure hydraulic applications.

These new couplings are ideal for high-flow chemical handling and many other fluid media applications where an all-plastic flow path and non-spill design is needed.

The customer can now replace costly ball valves and spill-prone fittings, with a more compact and less expensive quick disconnect coupling.

"These couplings solve a lot of problems, and provide truly worry-free tubing connections", said Patrick Williams, CPC's Market and Product Planning Manager.

"Until now, too many chemical media lines needed to be closed, hard-plumbed systems, but our new NSH couplings change that.

By virtually eliminating the risk of dangerous spills typically associated with open systems, safety is improved and maintenance and downtime costs are reduced dramatically.

The NSH Series couplings make this possible because they're the first high performance, high quality, affordable, corrosion-resistant, non-spill couplings on the market".

The NSH Series couplings are based on CPC's award winning ChemQuik Series high purity couplings and feature a pressure-balanced, non-spill design, so fluid lines can be instantly disconnected under pressure and hazardous spills are virtually eliminated.

An all plastic, 100% metal-free and spring-free flow path results in high flow, low turbulence and no corrosion.

The ease-of-use and single-handed operation make fluid line connections a snap.

The integral termination fittings eliminate the assembly hassle and potential leak path associated with typical couplings while reducing additional cost associated with those components.

The unique, field installed panel mount adapter accessory can turn any coupling body (socket) or insert (plug) into a sealing bulkhead solution without repairing additional inventory.

There are a variety uses for the new NSH Series, and immediate opportunities exist in battery filling, chemical delivery systems, dry cleaning equipment, industry laundry, car wash service, and high flow fluid delivery.

In fact, anywhere that aggressive chemicals are transferred via plastic tubing or anywhere spillage of any liquid is not desired.

The NSH Series can withstand operating pressures from vacuum to 8.3bar and temperatures from 0 to 49C.

Terminations include 0.375 and 0.5in outside diameter compression, 0.375 and 0.5in inside diameter hose barb, 0.375in male NPT thread, 0.375in male BSPT thread, and 0.375in female NPT thread.

Mounting options include inline, pipe thread and sealing panel mount.

Industry leading capacity (3.0Cv) facilitates high flow and low turbulence, all in a compact package.

CPC's quality system is ISO9001-certified and CPC couplings have a worldwide reputation for repeatable, leak-free connections.
