Question 1

Are these a standard 1/4 " quick connection or are these a proprietary design?

Accepted Answer

They are a proprietary design which relies on a standard design. By that, I mean the overall design abn dimensions match standard quick connects. However, standard male fittings have an o-ring about halfway up the shaft, which serves to seal the connection. This design instead relies exclusively on using the hose washer of the female half to seal the connection. That washer has a slightly smaller-than-usual hole in the center, and this extra material is what the male quick connect compresses. Not a bad design, but I wouldn't trust these male fittings with any female fitting other than their own.

Question 2

Wouldn't there be a problem with brass to aluminum connections?  Thanx much.

Accepted Answer

Aluminum and brass do not play well together. Due to their makeup, one will act as a cathode and the other an anode if there is any water between the two, and the effect gets worse the higher the temperature is (if left in the sun for example). This is what will happen in time if you use these connectors: https://ackermanhomeinspections.com/tidbits/absghbcames8zagaghc33ffyln253p

Question 3

Mine leak a lot when connected. My hose is very low pressure. How do I stop the leak when connected?

Accepted Answer

I have tried everything suggested here and mine still leak under regular water pressure. I added two washers to one of the female connectors that attaches to the hose and that leak stopped. I also tried different male adapters and changing out the washers on the female side. It worked good yesterday but when I used the hose this morning, it was back to leaking. I am undecided at this point if I will keep or return. I tried finding the contact info for the seller before posting here but was unable to locate an email or IM.
