The patent-pending NS6 Series nonspill coupling features shutoff valves that enhance operator safety, speed connection time and reduce cleaning procedures.

The patent-pending NS6 Series nonspill coupling features shutoff valves that enhance operator safety, speed connection time and reduce cleaning procedures.

The NS6's distinct nonspill valve design makes the product applicable for use in printing and labelling, chemical handling, electronic cooling, instrumentation and medical applications.

The nonspill coupling provides a lightweight, durable, compact and economical replacement for metal nonspill couplings, ball valves and fittings.

"The NS6 achieves 40% more flow, withstands twice the pressure and results in less spillage as compared to CPC's polypropylene HFC-12 series", said Patrick Williams, Market and Product Planning Manager, CPC.

"The product's nonspill functionality significantly reduces costly media loss, time-consuming clean up, and risk to operators associated with various media leaks and spills".

The NS6 is the third in a series of new nonspill couplings.

It follows the recently released compact NS4 series and high-flow NSH series.

The new non-spill coupling is made from glass-filled polypropylene with 316 stainless steel springs and EPDM or optional FKM O-ring seals, providing high resistance to a wide variety of corrosive media.

The NS6's olefinic overmoulding increases the durability of the connection and provides a better grip for users.

The overmoulding is also used for colour-coding, which provides instant visual differentiation of diverse media lines.

As with all CPC connection solutions, the NS6 incorporates an easy-to-use thumb latch to allow for secure, single-handed operation.

An audible "click" confirms that a secure connection is made.

The new nonspill connection can withstand operating pressures from vacuum to 8.3bar and temperatures from 0 to +49C.

The coupling features terminations of 0.5in OD compression; 0.375 and 0.5in ID hose barb; and 0.5in male NPT thread and 0.5in male BSPT thread.

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