As computing power grows and liquid cooling becomes essential, performance and uptime depend on having the right components. At Hanna Rubber Company, we supply Gates OCP Universal Quick Disconnect (UQD) couplings backed by decades of fluid handling expertise. Our team provides not only the parts but also the technical support and assembly solutions that keep cooling systems running efficiently—whether you’re upgrading existing racks or deploying new capacity.
Compact Design for Space-Saving Racks
Gates UQDs are engineered for high-density environments. Their slim profile conserves space while maintaining strong coolant flow, helping you manage thermal loads without sacrificing rack density.
Dry-Break Technology for Zero Downtime
With true dry-break capability, these couplings allow leak-free connections and disconnections—no tools required. This makes them ideal for live maintenance, component swaps, or upgrades without taking your cooling loop offline.
Reliable Under Pressure
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel and sealed with EPDM, Gates UQDs withstand harsh operating conditions. They are rated for –40°F to 248°F, handle pressures up to 290 psi (with burst strength up to 1,160 psi), and are available in four different sizes to suit diverse cooling layouts.
OCP-Ready for Modern Deployments
Fully compliant with Open Compute Project (OCP) standards, Gates UQDs integrate seamlessly with other Gates cooling products, including Data Master Cooling Hose and Megaflex assemblies. They’re built for modular designs and scalable growth.
