Quick connections for water

[Burban on the rocks]

Besides the air chuck style what are you using?

I've got a frame mounted tank and need a remote connection (bumper or body panel). Preferably something that auto-shuts so I dont need to cap it.

My tank is on the roof rack, so gravity feed. I added a boiler drain with common garden hose quick connects, and just snap the hose on and off as needed. No drips when disconnected. I fitted a cheap stainless bidet hose from Home Depot and snap it on as needed. Trigger operated, positive off, hangs on rack when not needed.

The only garden hose connectors I found at the local hardware stores were straight through fittings. Now that I know it exists I'll look ok online.

Try mcmaster carr for all sorts of cool fittings.

I got mine in the garden section at Home Depot. Plastic, but three years so far on the first one. Cheap, so I carry a spare. Cool feature is that I can fill the tank by snapping a garden hose onto the drain and just turn on the water until it blows out the top.

I use this on my boat. It is the highest quality quick disconnect I have ever encountered. It will connect and disconnect under full pump pressure and doesn't leak a drop.

Cole Parmer (Google search) sells great quick disconnects. Some have valves, some are dripless, etc.
