The American-Style Quarter-Inch Quick-Connect Fitting is a robust, safety-focused connection component designed for fast, secure links between gas hoses and appliances in U.S.-standard systems, merging intuitive operation, leak resistance, and durable construction for residential and light commercial gas setups.
Advantages
This fitting’s key benefit is its alignment with American gas system standards, ensuring seamless compatibility with U.S.-spec hoses and appliances—eliminating the mismatches common with generic fittings. Its quick-connect design enables tool-free, one-handed attachment and detachment, cutting setup time while reducing user effort. The integrated shut-off
Valve adds a critical safety layer: it stops gas flow automatically when disconnected, minimizing leak risks. Additionally, the metal and reinforced plastic construction offers exceptional durability, withstanding regular use, gas exposure, and mild environmental wear to extend service life.
Detailed Features
Structurally, the fitting combines a quarter-inch threaded inlet (for hose attachment), a spring-loaded quick-connect outlet, an integrated shut-off valve, and a lever-style activation handle. The threaded inlet ensures a tight seal with standard American quarter-inch gas hoses, while the spring-loaded outlet creates a secure connection with matching appliance ports. The black lever handle simplifies engagement—pushing it down locks the fitting, while lifting it releases the connection—and the built-in shut-off valve halts gas flow when detached. A mounting bracket allows secure installation on appliances, and the metal body (with corrosion-resistant coatings) resists rust and wear, maintaining performance over time.
Application Scope
This fitting is ideal for U.S.-based residential and light commercial gas setups using quarter-inch hoses, including outdoor grills, patio heaters, portable stoves, and small catering equipment. It excels at simplifying safe connections—for example, linking a backyard grill’s hose to its burner assembly, attaching a patio heater’s fuel line, or connecting a portable catering stove to a gas cylinder. Whether used for household outdoor cooking or small-scale food service events, this American-Style Quarter-Inch Quick-Connect Fitting delivers dependable performance. It streamlines setup, enhances gas system safety, and supports U.S.-standard configurations, meeting the needs of homeowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and small business operators seeking a fast, reliable, code-aligned gas connection solution.
