Quick Disconnect Tech Tip

The McLeod Quick Disconnect Fittings are easily assembled and disassembled by following these easy

steps. Do not use pliers, vice grips or any other clamping tools. Use only the supplied Quick Disconnect
Separation Tool and your fingers.

The above photos call out the key components including the male and female fittings, separation tool and
plastic collar. Do not remove the plastic collar from the male fitting!

Assembly is easy, just press the two fittings together. Separation is just as easy, position the separation
tool onto the male fitting between the plastic collar and the raised shoulder near the AN-4 hose. Press the

separation tool towards the female fitting until the fittings separate. No fluid leakage will occur.

If you do not have the separation tool handy, just press the plastic collar into the female fitting. I0005
