The Three-Eighths Quick-Connect Fitting is a durable, medium-diameter connection component designed to enable fast, secure links between gas hoses and appliances, merging efficient flow capacity, leak resistance, and user-friendly operation for residential and light commercial gas systems.
Advantages
This fitting’s core benefit is its three-eighths size, which supports higher gas flow rates than smaller quarter-inch fittings—ideal for appliances requiring more fuel (e.g., larger grills or heaters). Its quick-connect design allows tool-free, one-handed attachment and detachment, reducing setup time while minimizing user effort. The all-brass construction offers exceptional corrosion resistance, withstanding regular use, gas exposure, and environmental wear to extend service life. Additionally, the integrated safety tab prevents accidental disconnection during use, enhancing operational safety.
Detailed Features
Structurally, the fitting integrates a brass body, a spring-loaded locking mechanism, a threaded three-eighths inlet (for hose attachment), and a yellow safety tab. The brass material ensures compatibility with gas systems and durability, while the spring-loaded lock creates a tight, leak-resistant seal when connected to a matching quick-disconnect port. The threaded inlet forms a secure bond with three-eighths diameter gas hoses, and the safety tab locks the connection in place until intentionally released. The smooth internal pathway minimizes flow resistance, supporting consistent gas delivery to higher-demand appliances.
Application Scope
This fitting is ideal for residential and light commercial gas setups using three-eighths diameter hoses, including large outdoor grills (high-BTU models), commercial-style patio heaters, portable catering stoves, and small industrial heaters. It excels at supporting higher-flow appliances—for example, linking a large backyard grill’s hose to its burner assembly, attaching a high-output patio heater’s fuel line, or connecting a catering stove to a bulk gas cylinder. Whether used for household outdoor cooking or small-scale commercial operations, this Three-Eighths Quick-Connect Fitting delivers dependable performance. It streamlines setup, enhances connection safety, and supports consistent fuel delivery to high-demand appliances, meeting the needs of homeowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and small business operators seeking a fast, reliable, high-flow gas connection solution.
