Description

This industrial-grade male quick disconnect (QD) plug is engineered for high-efficiency fluid and gas transfer in demanding commercial environments. Constructed from heavy-duty brass, this fitting features a 1/4″ Male Pipe Thread (MPT) connection, making it the ideal choice for mounting into manifolds, regulators, or pump outlets. As a “No Shut-Off” (straight-through) design, it eliminates the internal valves that cause pressure drops, ensuring a maximum, unobstructed flow path when coupled with a compatible female socket.

Connection Type: Male Quick Disconnect Plug (Nipple)
Thread Interface: 1/4″ Male Pipe Thread (MPT)
Valve Configuration: No Shut-Off (Straight-Through / Full Flow)
Material: High-Performance Heavy-Duty Brass
Durability: Precision-machined to withstand high-pressure surges and frequent coupling cycles
Compatibility: Standardized industrial sizing for seamless integration with 1/4″ NPT ports
Application: Pneumatic air lines, CO2 gas manifolds, water filtration loops, and commercial washdown systems

Technician’s Note: This is a “straight-through” male plug, meaning it does not have an internal check valve to stop flow when disconnected. It is specifically designed for systems where the flow is controlled by a primary shut-off valve upstream. When installing the 1/4″ MPT threads into a manifold or regulator, we recommend using 2–3 wraps of high-density PTFE thread tape to ensure a gas-tight seal. The heavy-duty brass construction offers superior impact resistance compared to standard zinc-plated steel plugs, making it ideal for mobile draft rigs and harsh environment utility lines.
