Out of all the ways to attach silicone tubing (sold HERE) to your brew kettle we like quick connect ball lock fittings the most. The ease of connecting/disconnecting and cleaning is unmatched by standard hose barbs, cam locks or tri-clamps. These fittings can easily be attached using one hand even with heavy brewing gloves.

The inside diameter of our QC fitting is 1/2". This creates a full port design and will not restrict flow going through the barb.
