American quick connects

[MrCrowley]

When I was in America way back when I bought a bunch of air quick disconnect fittings but they were a different type to the ones I have. They don't work with the normal ARO style ones I buy here, also, to connect the two fittings together you need to pull back the sleeve.

Anyway, I need to find a few more of these particular types of quick connects. So you understand what I'm talking about, the type I bought in America look like the fitting in the bottom row, second from left in the picture. The ones I usually buy are in the bottom row, first on the left.

Does anyone know what the ones second from the left are called? I can never find them here and no one understands what I'm talking about when I ask where I can find them.



Edit: Perhaps this is a better picture. The silver QC is the one I got from America, the gold QC is the one I buy here in NZ.

If you want to know why i'm asking, I'm reviving the M480 Hybrid (coz I can) and if I find these particular QCs, I'll have an interchangeable fueling meter setup.

Go to McMaster Carr site and search for "quick-disconnect hose couplings".

1st one is ARO

2nd one is Industrial

No problembo!

Did you down load DWGTrueView yet?

[MrCrowley]

No not yet. Been meaning to get around to it but since I'm not too worried about sabot design (my expertise is lacking in that area), I've been a bit lazy and was just waiting for LeMaudit and JSR to finalise a design.

industrial or "milton" style are the most common ones i see around here.
The second one from the left looks like the industrial/milton design

Ok, the second fitting is industrial, the third is automotive (dunno what you would need it for but it is...) And the fourth I dont know.

The one on the far right is pretty much obsolete. I saw some in use on a farm on a really old compressor. The other 3 are common and in my local hardware store. I keep a set of each in the bag I travel with when I take my air cannon so I can use whatever compressor is handy at the site.

When buying the fittings in bulk instead of individually packaged, they are quite inexpensive.

Until recently I knew of nothing but Lincoln style.

Does anyone know what the style used in paintball remote systems is called?

[Gippeto]

I've only ever heard them referred to as "foster" fittings. Foster IS a manufacturer of such items...the ones used in paintball have a resemblance to the 1/8" FST series.
