My OH just got this quick release coupling


Be careful, those are a bit dodgy as they are not a fulham nozzle. this is the safe type - it cuts the gas supply once un-coupled.

I'll get him to check ours. Thanks for the posting.

I can confirm that the original one I posted does cut off the gas supply. HTH

It even says as much in the eBay auction...
"THIS FITTING HAS A BUILT IN STOP FLOW VALVE TO PREVENT GAS LEAKING WHEN DISCONNECTED"

Hi

I'm confused. Is it the lack of a Fulham nozzle, or the fact that it self seals, that makes the first example dodgy ?

My understanding is that both examples self seal when disconnected. But one is dodgy and the other is not ?

No, they're both safe.
The Fulham nozzle has nothing to do with anything.

As long as they both fit 8mm ID hose (which they do), they are fine.

Well said !! I can now point this out to Mrs Happy, who was so so worried that we were about to be fried in our beds because of my dodgy purchasing habits.
