Q/R #6 Str Hose End Plug Valved Gold/Black

The Q/R #6 Str Hose End Plug Valved in Gold/Black is a precision quick-disconnect coupling component engineered for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems in performance vehicles and industrial equipment. This JIFFY-TITE fitting serves as a shutoff valve adapter, preventing fluid loss and contamination when disconnecting hoses under load. Whether you're building a custom hydraulic brake system, air suspension setup, or turbo cooling circuit, this valved plug ensures clean disconnects and safe system isolation—critical for any technician working with pressurized fluid transfer applications.

Built to JIFFY-TITE's proven standard for flat-face quick-connect couplings, the Q/R #6 Str features a built-in poppet valve that seals both the male and female halves during separation, eliminating spillage and air infiltration. The gold and black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and thermal stress, making it ideal for engine bay and underbody mounting where temperature and moisture fluctuate. The straight (Str) profile allows for compact, low-clearance installations where angled fittings won't fit, and the #6 designation corresponds to standard SAE 6 port sizing, compatible with common -6 AN hose assemblies and adapters found in fuel, coolant, and brake system retrofits.

This valved plug works best when paired with matching JIFFY-TITE quick-disconnect bodies on your hose runs, creating a sealed system that tolerates disconnect cycles without weeping or air locks. Mechanics and fabricators favor this coupling for custom fuel injection rigs, auxiliary coolant loops, and pneumatic boost control systems where reliability trumps cost. Weighing just 0.09 lbs and measuring 3.6 x 1.75 x 4.85 inches, it installs in tight spaces without adding bulk, making it ideal for engine swaps, supercharger plumbing, and race car builds. Always verify port size and thread compatibility with your hose ends before installation.
