upgrading/building my rig

[autoferret]

I've been gathering gear and trying to find everything i need to get my new rig up and running. I've been searching for months for metal quick disconnects b/c the plastic ones i have are crap and i want something i wont have to replace again (other than a O-ring)

So after digging around I found these MoreBeer and i currently have them sitting on my bench w/ my new chiller and pump. But yesterday I found these Snap lock fittings

Has anyone used ether one of these in there brewing? have any positive or negative feedback?

With the more beer ones I can see that once you run hot wort threw them they'll be pretty hot to have to take apart.

I use the Cam locks from the second links. I've never had an issue with them and would recommend them. I've never used the others, so for all I know, they may be loved just as much by those that use them. I believe the Morebeer style are supposedly easier to use one handed, but with a little practice I can do the cams with one hand too. The Cam locks can get pretty hot, so gloves are sometimes needed.

+1 on the camlocks. use them all over my rig.

Thank you guys! i'll be returning these unused fitting for the ones that i really want. just did want to get them and be unhappy.

i went with the camlocks and love them. However do some searches here, especially Bobbys video. The big thing is to buy the threaded versions and not the barbed ones. 1/2 silicone tubing will fit over the threads perfectly. The advantage this way is that you eliminate the restriction that the barbed versions have. By the way I skimped a little and went the aluminum ones from proflow dynamics

Ditto on cam locks, I've used both. The MoreBeer disconnects are really pricey.
