Smarter Liquid Cooling Starts Here: Gates UQD Couplings for Modern Data Centers

As digital infrastructure expands and computing demands intensify, liquid cooling has emerged as the gold standard for data center thermal management. At Allied Rubber, we’re helping facilities upgrade with confidence by offering Gates OCP Universal Quick‑Disconnect (UQD) Couplings—an industry-leading solution engineered for performance, uptime, and interoperability.

Compact Form, Powerful Flow

Every inch of rack space matters in high-density environments. Gates UQD couplings are compact yet deliver robust coolant throughput, making them ideal for modular systems and tight server configurations. They’re purpose-built to meet the challenges of next-gen cooling architecture—without compromise.

Leak-Free, Tool-Free Servicing

Downtime isn’t an option in mission-critical facilities. With Gates’ dry-break UQD design, you can connect or disconnect lines cleanly—even while under pressure—with just one hand. There’s no need for tools, no risk of coolant spillage, and no interruptions to the broader cooling system. That means faster service times and reduced operational risk.

Built for Harsh Conditions

These couplings are constructed from high-grade stainless steel and feature resilient EPDM seals—ensuring dependable performance across a wide temperature range and in demanding data center conditions. Whether you’re scaling up, reconfiguring, or performing routine maintenance, Gates UQD stands up to the challenge.

Open Compute Project (OCP) Compliant

Developed alongside industry leaders like Intel, the UQD standard is designed for cross-brand compatibility. Gates UQD couplings align fully with OCP specifications, so you can integrate them seamlessly into any OCP-compliant ecosystem. They work perfectly with Gates’ full line of cooling hoses, such as Megaflex and Data Master™, without the need for proprietary fittings.
