I just spotted your sig Garry.
I thought these were beers but figured it was your description on a personal ad...

Nice to see Gary that you have a life outside brewing beer

These arrived today. I ordered them on 4th Dec! They look great though. The treaded one fits a 1/2" fitting a little bit loose but PTFE tape should sort it out. The barbed one fits Damo's silicone hosing nicely. Can't wait to try them out.

Where you bought them from?

[Garry]

Where you bought them from?

I bought them from westgroup.co.uk. They are cheaper to buy direct from Kent systems if you buy a larger quantity. The delivery changes are insane  They worked out about 3stg a piece for me. I got 20 males and 10 females.

I tried these out on Saturday morning. They worked great. No leaks and very easy to make/break the connection. It looks like the only spanner in the brewery will be me soon  If any of the homebrew shops are reading this, get these in stock! You'll have no problem shifting them if they are priced reasonably.

[johnrm]

Have you have spares then Garry?

Are these a bayonet fit?

[Garry]

Have you have spares then Garry?

I have a few at the moment but I've plans to build a hop back and a RIMS so I'll end up using them all I'd say. I should have bought more! If you want to take a loan of a set give me a shout.

Are these a bayonet fit?

Yes, like a bulb. Just push the female over the male and turn it 90°.

[johnrm]

Don't worry, I'll chase the links above.
Have you a source/part for the fittings between the pump body and the Quick connects?

[Garry]

It's a 1/2" threaded brass socket. I think I got them from bes.co.uk. I've seen similar ones in Woodies but about 4X the price.

If you are putting in an order let me know, I wouldn't mind getting some threaded females. I'll give you a few bob against the delivery.

[johnrm]

Is it the 6564 one?
How many do you need?
I assume all that is needed is 2 of them.

[Garry]

Is it the 6564 one?

Yes

I assume all that is needed is 2 of them.

Yes, you only need 2 for the pump. Although they are very handy. Buy a few extras for stock 

[johnrm]

How many do you need then?

[Garry]

When I said:

If you are putting in an order let me know, I wouldn't mind getting some threaded females.

I was talking about disconnects! Not an order with bes.co.uk. Sorry for confusing you! But thanks for thinking of me.

[johnrm]

Gotcha.
How many?
