According to one embodiment, a connector module, including a first bidirectional connector and a second bidirectional connector to fluidly interconnect between a cooling module of a server chassis and a rack manifold of an electronic rack; and a middle section positioned and connected between the first bidirectional connector and the second bidirectional connector. The middle section includes a side wall that separates the first bidirectional connector and the second bidirectional connector, and a side gate disposed on the side wall to place the first bidirectional connector and second bidirectional connector in fluid communication while in a first position and to fluidly isolate the first bidirectional connector from the second bidirectional connector while in a second position. The side gate is adapted to actuate to the first position when a fluid pressure differential between the first bidirectional connector and the second bidirectional connector exceeds a predetermined threshold.
