Koolance QDC confusion

[ChrisD.]

A while I go I bought the following:

£9.99 x 4 - Koolance QD3 Male Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Panel Female Threaded G 1/4 BSPP Black
£12.49 x 4 - Koolance QD3 Female Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Male Threaded G 1/4 BSPP - Black

The intention was to connect them straight up to either my blocks or the rads so I can quickly swap out parts and do maintenance.

However there's no way to do this, I presume I bought the wrong items? I think I also need a compression fitting for the tube end of it too?

Yes, they come with a G1/4 thread to connect the fitting of your choice to suit the pipe/tubing that you are using.

 

[ChrisD.]

I'm using 13/19mm Tubing, what do I need to connect direct to a block or rad and then the other end to tubing using a compression fitting?

 

[Jokester]

Simplest way is to use the male threaded QDC into your block, then simply a G1/4 to tube screwed into the female threaded female QDC.

 

[ChrisD.]

Ah so I need threaded connecters to my rads etc (I have compression ones now) and then a compression QDC for the tube end?

 

[Jokester]

Bit confused now, if I was buying new, I would get male G1/4 to QDC, connected to opposite QDC to 13/19mm compression.

 

[ChrisD.]

Yeah I'm not good at this as you can tell.

Found the male 1/4 but can't find the female 13/19 compressions.
