Q/R #8 Male Socket Gold/Black

The Q/R #8 Male Socket Gold/Black is a quick-release adapter designed for fluid power systems, pneumatic lines, and hydraulic applications requiring reliable, fast-disconnect connections. Built by JIFFY-TITE, this straight-flow socket addresses the need for secure, repeatable disconnects in industrial, automotive, and tactical equipment environments where downtime and leakage cannot be tolerated. The 5000 Series architecture ensures durability across demanding use cases, from mobile hydraulic systems to field-deployed tactical gear requiring modular component swaps.

This male socket features a valved design with an integrated FKM (Viton) seal, preventing fluid loss during disconnect and reconnect cycles while maintaining system integrity under pressure. The 8 AN (SAE -8) port size accommodates medium-flow applications with precision engineering that eliminates micro-leakage common in inferior quick-release designs. Constructed from aluminum and finished in durable black and gold anodize, the coupling resists corrosion, wear, and environmental degradation while remaining lightweight at just 0.26 lbs—critical for portable or vehicle-mounted systems where weight savings compound across multiple assemblies. The straight configuration eliminates directional flow restrictions, enabling seamless integration into existing 5000 Series quick-disconnect networks.

Technicians, field engineers, and equipment manufacturers rely on this adapter for modular hydraulic setups, mobile power takeoff (PTO) systems, and tactical equipment requiring rapid deployment. The valved socket design is compatible with matching JIFFY-TITE quick-release plugs in the 5000 Series, ensuring repeatable, zero-spillage connections across field conditions. Installation requires no special tools—simply mate to the complementary plug for immediate fluid transfer. Whether supporting temporary fuel transfer rigs, pneumatic tool systems, or mobile tactical platforms, this Q/R male socket delivers the reliability professionals demand from mission-critical quick-disconnect infrastructure.
