Overview
A Chilipad Cube Connector is used in the Sleepme Cube to allow fast, tool-free connection and disconnection of the water lines that circulate through the cooling pad. This fitting makes it easy to fill, drain, or move the Cube without spills, as the built-in valve automatically stops water flow when disconnected. It improves convenience, prevents leaks, and simplifies maintenance for your Sleepme Cube.
