We now have the ideal vacuum connection system for those who prefer to easily detach the braided vacuum tube from any of our vacuum press systems. I've tested more than three dozen connectors and found only one that holds vacuum. This is a three-component item which includes the quick coupler, barbed fitting for 3/8" ID vacuum tube, and 1/4" NPT brass attachment nipple.
This connection assembly simply takes the place of a 1/4" NPT x 3/8" barb fitting.

Does either part of this fitting have a built-in valve to stop the flow of vacuum when disconnected?
This fitting does not have a valve inside.
Is this fitting the same as the lock-on connector used to attach the vacuum tube to the bag?
Yes, but in this product, we're just highlighting the use of the connector as a means of detaching the hose from the vacuum press system.
