Panel-mount couplings add flexibility
A new range of panel-mount APC coupling bodies provides added flexibility and mounting options.
A new range of panel-mount APC coupling bodies provides added flexibility and mounting options to create secure connections for applications that include water filtration, distillation equipment, commercial dispensing equipment for water, ice cream and juice, and analytical instrumentation Previously, APC coupling bodies only had the option of being attached to pipe ends or tubing that extended out from equipment

Colder Products Company has made its Sixtube coupling more design-friendly. Acetal shut-off valves have been added to the insert side of the coupling-shut-offs are now available on the body
PVDF coupling for chemical fluid applications
ChemQuik CQV06 is the the first all-plastic coupling made of ultra-pure PVDF, and is aimed at high flow, ultra-pure semiconductor and chemical fluid applications.
Unless equipment already had piping, coupling connections had to be made inline.
Depending on the application, inline tubing could be inconvenient.
The new panel mount coupling body enables tubing to be easily connected and disconnected from a panel during use and maintenance.
"The APC panel mount coupling body allows design engineers to create more elegant systems that are safe and secure", said Patrick Williams, Market and Product Planning Manager at Colder Products.
"The new panel mount connection improves the ease of installation, replacement, and serviceability of equipment".
CPC offers 14 different configurations of the APC panel mount body, both valved and nonvalved.
Terminations include several sizes of hose barbs and CPC's ferruleless polytube compression fitting.
APC couplings incorporate a patented plastic thumb latch that allows quick, one-handed disconnects.
An audible "click" confirms a secure connection.
The APC panel mount coupling body is injection moulded from acetal thermoplastic and resistant to mild chemical solutions.
The coupling body withstands maximum temperatures of 82C and pressures from vacuum up to 8.3bar.
A "D" flat on the panel threads helps facilitate coupling orientation in the panel to ensure uniformity.
An optional gasket can also be used to seal the coupling against the face of the panel.
