- What make? Who did you source them from?
- How are they for spillage?
- Do they permit air inclusion?
- Can they be connected under pressure?
- Do they seep if left disconnected for extended periods?
- What prevents accidental disconnection?

being offered by any other vendors.)
They are -10 and I happened to decide that to minimize the number
of fittings, a hose-end style was appropriate for one side and a male
NPT was ideal for the other side of my application. However, many
other sizes and configurations are available.
I don't know yet how they perform in regards to the other questions I
raised earlier. And I may not find out before the close of this season.
Still, I thought I'd post some pictures in case dry-break connectors
happen to be of interest to others. No one posted to the earlier thread
- either there isn't any experience with them here (which I find unlikely)
or they don't solve a problem for folks.
Incidently, for high pressure use, Staubli has a line of quick-disconnects
that are suitable for brake and clutch hydraulic applications.
