Parker CDT Series Quick Disconnect Couplings for Liquid Cooling

Thread-to-connect dry-break couplings for data centre and electronics thermal management

The Parker CDT Series is a flat-face quick disconnect coupling designed for liquid cooling and thermal management applications in electronics, servers, supercomputers and data centres. Built around the OCP Large Quick Connector Specification, the CDT Series is engineered to support high-powered cooling circuits where leak prevention, low pressure drop and dependable connection are critical.

At Hopespare, we supply Parker thermal management connection solutions that help data centre operators, OEMs and system integrators build safer, cleaner and more efficient liquid cooling systems.

Product Overview
The CDT Series is a dry-break, thread-to-connect quick disconnect designed for use on inlets and manifolds in liquid cooling systems. The threaded connection provides a mechanical advantage during connection and disconnection, helping users make secure connections in demanding cooling environments.

Its flush face valve design helps minimise fluid loss during connection and disconnection, while also protecting sensitive electrical equipment. Combined with a high-flow, low-pressure-drop design, the CDT Series supports efficient thermal transfer and reliable system operation.
