Q/R #8 Female Socket Black

The Q/R #8 Female Socket Black from JIFFY-TITE is a quick-release adapter designed for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer systems where rapid disconnect capability is essential. This 3000 Series component serves technicians, mechanics, and industrial operators who require reliable, tool-free connection and disconnection in high-pressure applications. The valved female socket design minimizes spillage and contamination when couplers are separated, making it ideal for applications where cleanliness and efficiency are critical operational requirements.

Built from aluminum with black anodized finish, this quick-release socket features an 8 AN female connection point and integrates a FKM elastomer seal for dependable pressure retention and environmental resistance. The straight profile eliminates flow restrictions and dead zones that can trap debris or reduce system efficiency. The internal valving mechanism automatically closes when the socket is disconnected, preventing backflow and fluid loss—a critical safety and environmental feature in demanding service conditions. The compact 3.65 x 1.75 x 4.9-inch footprint and lightweight 0.15-pound construction enable installation in space-constrained equipment without sacrificing structural integrity or seal performance.

Operators working with air tools, hydraulic power packs, fluid service equipment, and mobile industrial systems benefit most from this adapter's durability and ease of use. Installation is straightforward—the 8 AN female thread accepts standard quick-release plugs and couplers, and the black anodized aluminum resists corrosion in shop, outdoor, and maritime environments. Technicians across construction, agriculture, automotive service, and manufacturing rely on JIFFY-TITE quick-release components for consistent performance under pressure and repeated use cycles.
