Abstract
A coolant hose connection system for joining a coolant hose with a cold plate spigot on a cold plate includes an alignment cup including a first end having a cold plate spigot receiver and a second end including a conduit spigot support section. A conduit spigot is disposed on the conduit spigot support section. The conduit spigot includes a first end section configured to receive a cold plate spigot, a second end section configured to connect with a coolant conduit, and a clock element. A conduit spigot holder is coupled to the alignment cup. The conduit spigot holder includes a clock element receiver configured to receive the clock element to establish a selected alignment between the conduit spigot and the cold plate spigot.
