Q/R #8 Male Socket Black

The Q/R #8 Male Socket Black by JIFFY-TITE is a quick-release adapter designed for high-performance hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel system applications where rapid connection and disconnection are essential. This straight-threaded coupling belongs to the 3000 series quick-release family and serves technicians, mechanics, and industrial operators who need reliable, leak-free connections without tools or downtime. Its compact design makes it ideal for engine bays, fuel systems, test benches, and mobile equipment where space and repeatability matter.

This socket features an 8 AN male connection interface and employs a spring-loaded poppet valve system to prevent fluid loss during disconnect operations. The body is constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodized coating, offering corrosion resistance and a professional appearance suitable for demanding environments. An FKM (Viton) elastomer seal ensures compatibility with mineral oils, synthetic fluids, and fuel without degradation, providing reliable performance across temperature fluctuations and pressure cycles typical of motorsport and industrial use.

This adapter is most beneficial for users operating modular fuel systems, mobile hydraulic equipment, or test rigs where frequent coupling and uncoupling occur. The valved design eliminates spillage during connection breaks, making it compliant with safety and cleanliness standards in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing settings. Installation is straightforward—simply thread onto the male fitting using standard AN wrench sizes; the quick-release mechanism handles the separation. Verify 8 AN thread compatibility on your male component before purchase to ensure proper seating and rated pressure performance.
