Brewing Quick Disconnects
Before Bobby From New Jersey Did the famous You Tube Video on Camlock Disconnects, these poppet Style Stainless Quick Disconnects were Widely used in home brew. Since then The 1/2" Camlocks have been the most popular Homebrew Quick Disconnect Fittings due to their better Price and Wider ID. That being said there is still enough inquiry on these original Quick Connects for brewing to have them on offer.
Quick to connect by pulling back the female QD spring loaded sleeve and then sliding the male quick connect into place. Once you release the sleeve they couple with a watertight seal. The benefit of this type of quick connect is that you can disconnect operations with one hand. Since they can be opened with one hand, (and closed with practice,) this adds a great safety feature when working with hot liquids. These Homebrew Quick Connects are also searched under the term "Stainless steel quick disconnect brewing". Like the 1/2" Camlocks these Stainless Steel Brewing Quick Disconnects are manufactured in long lasting Stainless Steel and come complete with a high temperature gasket.
