These are standard pipes that allow for quick disconnects. They are used to connect the hoses to the water manifold to the press. In some case quick disconnects are added to so the mold setting time is reduced. Care must be taken when using the quick disconnects so they do not impede the flow of the water. If the quick disconnect is smaller in diameter than the waterline the water flow is restricted and may result in a laminar flow that will reduce the effectiveness of the water cooling.
