Abstract
An interconnect device for joining disengagable portions of a closed fluid circulating system is disclosed. The interconnect device is employed at any point in the system where it may be desirable to open or disconnect the system, for example to facilitate replacement of parts in a coolant system for high density electronic equipment applications. The interconnect device, since a fluid is involved, is arranged to automatically shut off fluid flow any time the mating members are separated thereby preventing loss of fluid in the circuit.
