Stainless steel male quick disconnect x 1.5" Tri-Clamp

Quick disconnects are (as the name would imply) connectors that can be connected and disconnected quickly. These seal very well (no drips at all) and support liquid flow in either direction. The male end is simply a post with a locking groove in it. Mates with the female end to form a locking seal.

The Tri-Clamp (sometimes called Tri-Clover) side is normally attached directly to plumbing or existing kettle fittings using a clamp and gasket (not included).

304 Stainless.

Note: For quick disconnects always purchase the male and female ends from the same manufacturer to ensure proper fit. Improper fit can lead to leaks (fit too loose) or damaged o-rings / o-rings that get dislodged (fit too tight).

Note that with Tri-Clamp fittings the size refers to the outside diameter of the tubing that it makes a connection for, not the flange diameter (the flat disc part).

For 1.5" Tri-Clamp fittings the diameter of the outer flange is 1.988" (50.5mm). The 1.5" Tri-Clamp flange works directly with 1" (25mm), 1.33" (33.7mm), or 1.5" (38mm) Tri-Clamp fittings. 1.5" Tri-Clamp probes can be used in 2" Tri-Clamp fittings (or vice versa) with a suitable adapter/reducer (not included).
