Cheap Quick Disconnects (eBay)

[frolickingmonkey]

I just bought a a few sets of quick disconnects off eBay for ridiculously cheap. They're used, and I don't know what size they are, but I figure it's worth a shot for the price. He's still got a few sets left if anyone else wants to test the waters.

Thanks for the link. Just bought a set as well. I couldn't pass this up when they're typically ~$20 a set and you get 4 sets for $10 shipped. Thanks again much appreciated!

are they 3/8 hose barb?

Not sure the measurements. I checked the listing linked here as well as the one in the seller's store, but I couldn't spot any size info. Great price!

In the listing description for the ones in his ebay store the seller says they are for 1/4" hoses.

Do people typically use these in their brewing rigs or in keezer/kegerators? I'm assuming with only 1/4" it's for dispensing.

I got this response regarding the disconnects I linked to in the OP:

Hello,
The hose that these attach to has a 3/8" inside diameter. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks.

I got this response regarding the disconnects I linked to in the OP:

What would a 3/8 ID be good for? Would this be a large enough diameter to run a March pump on both upstream or downstream of the pump?

I really didn't have a use in mind when I bought them but I figured something would most definitely pop up at some point. At that price I couldn't pass them up. My idea so far is to use it as a disconnect on the gas line running into the keezer off the primary regulator.

I am march pump n00b but I used it for the first time the other day. I was using 3/8" silicone thick walled hose for both the influent and the effluent and had zero problems. I am probably going to be ordering more 3/8" hose in the near future for use with this pump.
