Quick disconnect couplings from Colder Products are used in a variety of hydration applications, including camping, sports, military (hydration packs and cooling suits), and emergency preparedness (storage and dispensing of water for use in natural disasters). Couplings are used to connect a drinking or dispensing tube to the flexible pouch or bag where the potable water is stored. In applications where the pouch is used in a backpack, quick disconnect couplings can used to remove the bite valve from the dispensing tube. Colder couplings are also used to connect to filtration systems.
