Need some quick release couplings to connect my chiller or heater to different jacketed equipment. I have them all plumed together at the moment but it’s a lot of hassle having many valves to direct coolant or heating fluid to different parts. Anyone know of quick release hose connectors that can deal with -20 to 100 C ? I was thinking of using some air compressor connectors but not sure how they’d cope with liquid?

Cheers,
Kit

Edit: They would need to not leak after they’re detached

Both sides not leak or just one? The Schrader type QCs are generally pretty leak tight. Temp really doesn’t matter, they’re mostly brass or stainless

You want to look for hydraulic quick disconnects.

Check McMaster-Carr for International Standard ISO B Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Hydraulic Fluid. Brass fittings are rating -40F to 250F. 316 SS fittings can handle hotter temperatures but have a lower cold temperature threshhold (-15F to 400F)

That’s perfect thanks.
