1/2" MPT Stainless Steel Quick Disconnect Female

Great quality with no fit or leak issues. These work with the o-ring seals. Some have a gasket (other suppliers) that do not work with this style.

Works as described. Having everything with quick-release was a great investment. No more fussing with hose clamps and screwdrivers. I can focus on my process with less distractions.

I was worried that this connection (and the male counterpart) would leak or be difficult to connect (they remind me of air compressor line fittings). However, once these are warm they connect/disconnect with ease, making it really easy to put in/take out a plate chiller and move wort from pot to pot. MUCH easier than trying to use hose barbs each time you want to pump wort from one place to the next.
