Are you looking for connectors that will permit one hand disconnections and prevent fluid flow from escaping? If you are your search ends right here. The snap type of quick disconnect can be easily connected and disconnected. To connect, simply push the two halves together and to disconnect, slide the knurled sleeve back towards the internal side of the fitting. All of the quick disconnects need an internal (female) and external (male) end to function properly. The connectors are available in 303 stainless steel and most models available in brass and 316 stainless steel. While connected, the quick disconnects are rated for an operating pressure of 500 psi (34 bar). For higher pressure applications, a bayonet style quick disconnect is available that can handle up to 3,000 psi (206 bar). The multi-line quick disconnect shown in the photograph has a keyed locating pin to insure correct orientation when connecting. Multi-line quick disconnects are available in 4, 6, and 8 lines.
