I just wanted to ask you guys if these two item will connect together. It looks like they will, but this whole thing about quick disconnects is new and slightly confusing to me right now.
Will this male part-6739K59
connect with this female part-6739K68
I have 1/2 inch ball valves and I plan on useing 1/2 inch tubing
Thank you

Yeah, you're good... Both are 3/8" coupling.
6739K59 says - Compatible Couplings: Foster FP Series, Foster FS Series, Hansen FT Series, Parker Moldmate
6739K68 says - Compatible With: Parker Moldmate, Foster series FP and FS, and Hansen series FT couplings.
The 90 degree coupling with the barb looks cool. I used 1/2" couplings and don't think I saw that option when I got mine.
FYI, I used the following...
6537K75
6537K93
They're 1/2" inside diameter. These didn't come with barbs so I had to get part 5346K66 too. I didn't want anything restricting the flow so all my fittings are 1/2" inside diameter. I used the silicone tubing sold at morebeer and was able to stretch it over the 5/8" barbs with no problem.
Good luck. You'll love 'em.
