Not if you want them to serve dual purpose and be able to shut off the cylinder and isolate it to prevent drifting. Similar to the way DPCV's work on some of the toplinks. Only I have the option of opening and using float mode.

Oh, you did say you could shut them off completely. Now it makes sense. Thanks.

Strike two for the company I ordered the couplers from.

Didnt think it would be so hard to order 8 pairs of 1/2" ag couplers with 2-way sleeve.

First go around, I was sent 3/8" coupler sets. This time around, I got the 8 male plugs, but instead of 8 female couplers, I got 8 flat-face 3/8" plugs:mur: The bag that should have the coupler bodies, is even labeled correctly with correct PN and descriptions. Just the wrong product they put inside.

Gotta say, I dont forsee doing business with this company again, which is sad because they do seem to have a quite good selection of quality products at a good price too.

As the saying goes, "Good quality, good price, good service. Pick any 2".

Yep.

I have since found that I can get 2-way sleeve coupler sets at napa for ~$16 with my discount. Which is even cheaper than online.

What is a two way sleave?

You can either pull back on the sleeve to release like a standard coupler, or pull forward.

Not really of any benefit unless you clamp mount via the sleeve like I did.

With a standard 1-way sleeve, the act of pulling on the hose connected to the male plug, pulls on the body of the coupler. And since the sleeve is pointed in a clamp, it's just like pulling back the sleeve. Allows one handed disconnect just by pulling on the hose, and thus breakaway protection.

The benefit to a 2-way is you can do the same thing to connect. One hand and just push the plug in. That act pushes on the internal body of the coupler, and with the sleeve clamped, it actuates and allows the connection to be made with one hand

I have many customers that would disagree with that statement. It is easier to pull the sleeve away while pulling on the hose to remove and to pull the sleeve towards the hose while pushing the hose in. This can make a huge difference for people with arthritis or simply not all that strong. May sound silly, but I have many customers that are very happy that the 2 way sleeves are what I provided for them.
