"This valve allows free flow in one direction and blocked flow in the reverse direction."what about using a in line check valve and put it just behind the quick disconnect fitting?
CPIFF Inline Check Valve
Would kind of suck if you wanted to run your PHD in the other direction or angle your plow to the other side...
Also, decreasing the volume of trapped fluid from maybe a quarts worth of line to a teaspoon of line would make things worse. As you hook up the QDs you have to compress things. As hydraulic fluid is incompressible, that means the lines move ever so slightly. If you drop that down to a teaspoon of line that's all steel fittings, you aren't going to be able to push in those plungers at all.
