Koolance QDT3 EPDM Female Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Compression for 10mm x 13mm (3/8in x 1/2in)
Meet the Koolance QDT3 Female Quick Disconnect Coupling, engineered for clean maintenance in custom liquid cooling loops. This component utilizes Koolance's patented technology featuring an automatic shutoff mechanism to minimize spills during separation. It offers a straight connection via a compression fitting, perfectly sized for tubing with a 10mm inner diameter and 13mm outer diameter. When disconnected, liquid loss is typically minimal, around 0.2ml, though this can increase slightly under higher internal pressure. For optimal performance and warranty adherence, Koolance advises using their specified coolants and avoiding incompatible metal mixtures within your system.
