The fixed half of the system. The RRC Car Side Connector mounts permanently on your roll cage or roll bar. Your tubing connects once and stays. Every time your driver gets in, their Driver Hydration Kit snaps straight in. Every time they get out, press the button on the female fitting and it springs apart cleanly. No fumbling, no drips.

Designed to pair with the Driver Hydration Kit.

Compatible with most radio plugs via the included spacers, no drilling, no modifications, works with virtually any comms setup.

All RRC and SRC products use the same 4x7mm food-safe silicone tubing — everything in the system works with this tubing size.

Professional endurance racing connector technology at a fraction of the cost of traditional motorsport suppliers, without compromising on performance.

The same connector system is available for sim racing at simracingcraftsmen.com — 4040 profile mounting for your rig.

Care and Maintenance

Designed for low-maintenance, hassle-free use.

  • After every use: Flush the connector with clean water for 20-30 seconds, then run briefly without liquid to clear excess moisture
  • After sugary drinks or isodrink: Always flush thoroughly with clean water immediately after use to prevent buildup
  • Regular cleaning: Fill your bottle with clean water and dissolve a cleaning tablet — run the full bottle through the system, then flush thoroughly with clean water and run dry
  • Deep clean (as needed): Use warm water with a bit of vinegar through the connector, then rinse thoroughly and run dry

Avoid alcohol-based cleaners — they may reduce the lifespan of the seals and fittings.
