Job Site Gas Quick-Release, Female Plug to Male

3.5 out of 5 stars
Added: 09/03/2021 by Doug M.

The QDB33 has a very nice, smooth connect / disconnect function. However, Western Enterprise's site indicates that this unit also employs a reverse-flow check valve. It does not. Gas flow is not restricted opposite of the flow direction indicated on it's body. At least the two of mine that I received do not. I purchased these primarily to provide reverse-flow protection between two tanks, one Argon, one C25, both connected through one Y-valve so that I could mix the gases when I required lower CO2 levels. I am quite disappointed. Another one of Western Enterprise's part description mistakes I suppose.

Doug,
Thanks for taking time to review the connector.
After researching it, we found that only the Oxy-Fuel QD's use a Anti-Backflow valve.
The argon QD's have a positive seal on the supply side only when disconnected.
We can build you a custom anti back-flow whip hose. If you are interested please contact our Customer Care team and we will send you a quote.
Good welding!
