I have been looking for connectors for my diy project and for Inspiration off-board.

How does APD QC compare against Swagelok QC6?

APD QC are cheaper, have also automatic closure on both ends (right?), easier fix onto hoses.

How about flow rates at depth? Can you have pressure on both APD ends when disconnected?

Hi Pasi,

Both the APD QC and the Swagelok QC6 are good options.

The APD QC connectors can prove difficult to re-connect under pressure and they should be fitted with that in mind.

I have both types and I use the APD QC on my unit.

Regards
