Air hose quick connect for gas?

I may be wrong, I'll let you look it up.
I think gas fittings are made of brass and air fittings are often made of steel. Brass doesn't spark. Sometimes, under rare conditions, steel does.

Harbor Freight has brass couplers.

JMO, If their good enough for high pressure air, why not propane ?

In fact, I have used them for my Gas BBQ.

If I'm not mistaken & I remember correctly the couplers used for gas are different than those used
for air, so you'd have to use both male & female air fittings to make things work.

You can get brass air hose quick connects.

Some of my air tool connectors leak a little between the male and female ends. For that reason, I wouldn't use them on gas. Maybe the better quality ones don't tend to leak as much. Absolute freedom from leaking is not generally a requirement for air tools and air hoses, while it basically is for gas.

Air couplers are made for AIR and AIR ONLY, not FLAMMABLE PETROLEUM products.

I have lost track of how many air couplers I have thrown away after a few years of usage that FAIL to SEAL when coupled or uncoupled!

PLEASE FOLKS DON'T BE THIS CHEAP WITH YOUR LIFE!

Buy PURPOSE MADE GAS COUPLERS! They ARE designed BETTER than air couplers and will last longer not to mention make a positive seal for many years.

X 2 I agree with Gdetrailer, I saw a bbq catch on fire from using steel air hose fittings luckily we were there when it caught and turned the LP off and put the flame out before major damage was done., heck mine in the shop leak and I would never take the chance using them on propane

Air couplers for gas. Nope. Not the same thing as gas fittings.

You can buy the gas fittings at any hardware store, and even Wally World. what is the point in going cheap. Beside that great big fireball.

My propane quick connectors have a shut-off lever on them and you can't separate the connectors until the lever is in the closed position. Works well.

OK, OK! Off to Wally World I go. Hate to have a 1/2 psi fireball at the BBQ!

Nope.

Over the years I've had hundreds of air quick connects, tried them all, L, M, N, etc.

I've never walked through my repair shop, my fleet operation or my wood shop without hearing air leak or hearing compressor run when no one is using tools....

Point well made. That's why I asked. Lots of good info and experience here. Don't want to deal with leaky gas fittings. Thanks.
