Colder Products Introduces New NS4 Series Non-Spill Couplings at ACHEMA 2003
New Device Expands Non-Spill Connection Options to Meet Smaller Size Requirements
Frankfurt am Main, Germany -- May 19, 2003 - Colder Products Company (CPC), the leading provider of controlled performance connections to chemical, biopharmaceutical, medical, industrial, and packaging markets, will unveil its new NS4 Series Non-Spill Coupling at ACHEMA 2003 at booth K16 in hall 9.0. The NS4 features a non-spill shut-off valve that enhances operator safety and speeds connection time. The non-spill coupling provides a lightweight, durable, compact and economical replacement for expensive metal non-spill couplings, ball valves, and spill-prone fittings.
The NS4 is the second in a new series of non-spill couplings introduced by Colder Products in 2003. As a smaller version of the recently announced NSH Series Non-Spill Coupling, the ¼" NS4 utilizes a different non-spill valve design that is ideal for use in ink handling applications, chemical delivery systems, electronic cooling systems, instrumentation, and medical devices.
"There is a pressing need to eliminate spills of even a few drops when customer safety, mess and clean-up, costly media loss or customer perception is an issue," said Andy Hass, Business Unit Manager, Industrial Markets at Colder Products. "The NS4 provides a non-spill, single-click connection that enables OEMs to increase the value of their equipment by combining a small coupling size with excellent flow characteristics."
As with all CPC connection solutions, the NS4 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 main components of the NS4 are made out of glass-filled polypropylene with 316 stainless steel springs and EPDM or optional FKM o-ring seals, which provide high resistance to a wide variety of corrosive media. The NS4's olefinic overmolding increases the durability of the connection and provides a better grip for users. The overmolding is also used for color-coding, which provides instant visual differentiation of diverse media lines.
The new non-spill connection can withstand operating pressures from vacuum to 120 psig (8.3 bar) and temperatures from 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C). The coupling features terminations of 3/8" OD PTF compression; 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" ID hose barb; and 1/4" male NPT thread and 1/4" male BSPT thread. Mounting options include in-line, pipe thread, and sealing panel mount.
