3/8 Tubing Quick Disconnect

[johnwpowell]

I'm looking for 3/8 tubing quick disconnects. The tubing goes from my glycol chiller to my fermenter coil barbs. Its a pain to disconnect the tubing when fermentation is done.

I tried some twist qd from more beer.com but the tubing I have can't twist. I need something with a swivel nut or press to disconnect.

Any ideas?

John guest also make NPT to compression QDs

Some big box stores carry them
Check shark bite connectors as well

I use hydraulic quick disconnects so that I don't spill any glycol when I disconnect. They are pricey but work well. I don't have a link, I found mine on ebay.

I'm not clear on the exact fitting you're hunting for, but http://www.buckeyehydro.com/fittings/

I ended up going with flare fittings

Could you tell me the measurements on the quick disconnects and the tubing measurement, you have in your system? Thanks in advance. I'm putting the parts together for a system like this.

Mine are just like these. They are 1/2" npt hydraulic disconnects. I also use 1/2" i.d. tubing. If I were to do it over I would go for 3/8" disconnects and tubing. The cost is a lot lower and I think the 1/2" is overkill. I would also recommend stainless disconnects. Mine have started to rust a little inside making the seals get stuck allowing leaks on occasion.
