Quick Disconnects

Many home brewers use conventional threaded and barbed hardware fittings for their tubing connections. While these fittings are useful, connecting/disconnecting and moving the tubing using these connections is not only cumbersome but is also time-consuming. Moreover, working with hot liquid can also be very dangerous; this is one reason why using quick disconnects are recommended.

Quick disconnects work like magic, quickly allowing you to disconnect and reconnect your fittings to and from your equipment. For homebrewers looking to upgrade their plumbing system, these practical and cost-effective fittings are a must. This kind of coupler is very beneficial for those who are constantly altering and moving their brewing setup. Moving your tubing around with a quick disconnect is easy. Another advantage of this system is that it provides more convenience when draining the wort.

When choosing a quick disconnect connector, it is essential that one fitting is male, and the other is female so that both disconnects will connect. The quick-connect couplers are placed inline or directly to a brewing component, such as a cold plate.

Here at Ontario Beer Kegs, we have a wide variety of quick connectors that you can choose from made from Brass and Stainless Steel. Our quick disconnects are not only used to connect hose fittings but also other assemblies like thermometers or sight gauge.
