Q/R 1/4NPT Male Socket Valved

The JIFFY-TITE Quick Release 1/4NPT Male Socket Valved is a high-performance fluid transfer component designed for demanding automotive and industrial plumbing systems. This 3000 Series quick-release fitting allows for rapid disconnection of fluid lines without the need for tools, making it an essential upgrade for racing teams or maintenance-heavy environments. By incorporating a valved design, this socket ensures that fluid remains contained within the line during separation, preventing spills and air ingestion. It is specifically engineered for those who require a reliable, leak-proof connection in high-pressure or high-vibration applications.

Constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, this straight hose end features a black and gold anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance and professional aesthetics. The internal FKM seal provides exceptional compatibility with a wide range of oils, fuels, and coolants, ensuring long-term integrity under extreme operating temperatures. The Quick Release 1/4NPT Male Socket Valved utilizes a 1/4 in NPT thread for a secure, tapered fit to standard manifolds or adapters, while the quick-release socket interface allows for instant coupling with matching plugs. This combination of materials and precision machining guarantees a secure fit that maintains flow efficiency while minimizing turbulence.

Professional mechanics and performance enthusiasts will benefit most from the efficiency and safety provided by the Quick Release 1/4NPT Male Socket Valved. This fitting is ideal for oil cooling systems, fuel lines, or transmission circuits where frequent servicing or component changes are necessary. Installation is straightforward due to the standard NPT sizing, though it is recommended to use appropriate thread sealant on the male NPT side to ensure a pressure-tight seal. Whether you are building a custom fuel system or upgrading a cooling loop, this valved socket offers the reliability required for mission-critical fluid management.
