How do valve, mounting and hose options change a quick disconnect?
Choose the mating pair according to which side must retain fluid during disconnection, where the connector mounts and which hose fits each end. The Q60 overview illustrates these choices. A shutoff valve is not a guarantee of spill-free disconnection; confirm the complete pair under the intended pressure and fluid conditions.
