Quick Disconnect Fittings, Help

Hi.
I'm trying to choose Quick Disconnect Fittings, but i'm kinda lost :confused:

Im using 13/19mm hoses.

Could someone please help me to choose some quality, high flow, quick disconnect, 13/19mm, fittings ?
As I understand it u need to buy 2 separate parts or something but like I already said, I'm lost.

thx

You would be looking at something like this

Always make sure the manufacture code is matching for both (best use site to double check), do not just presume its correct from the title and picture. i did that previously and the male and female did not match.

yeah I understand them now, finally

its a shame oc.uk dont offer QD4, female and male.

Also if anyone is interested in manufacturers coding there are(mostly) 2 verions of each type.

for example:
QD3-F13X19-BK - OLD
QD3-FS13X19-BK - NEW VERSION, S=short, so its a bit shorter or something. Also theres small visual changes

QD3 vs QD4
QD4=thicker=less restricted=more flow=better

QD4 is only made for 13/19mm hoses

hm not rly.this is the newest version like I said. S=short so prolly a bit shorter than older ones

Comparison vs Bitspower 13/19mm 45 degree fitting

i have the older twist lock vesrion, which is a lot bigger. but then again i have a 900D so space is not a problem
