I’m trying to set up a quick-connect system for my natural gas crawfish boiler and could use some guidance. Here’s my setup:
- Gas line on patio: 1/2" female threads
- Boiler connection: 3/4" male threads
I want to use quick-connect fittings so I can easily detach the boiler and store it in the garage. My initial thought was:
- A 1/2" male quick-connect for the gas line
- A 3/4" female quick-connect for the boiler (though I recognize I might need an adapter)
- A compatible hose to link them
But I’m struggling to find a straightforward kit or parts that match these sizes. Am I missing something? Are there adapters or specific brands that simplify this?
Thank you!
Pretty sure you have it backwards. The female quick connect has an auto-shutoff valve built in so should be on the supply side for safety even if you have a ball valve to turn it off manually.
That’s a really good point. I do have it backwards then. Thanks!
