Making a Closed Loop System. Need a little help with details.

Passive system, and why not quick disconnects? Im using hydraulic body and coupler not the air connectors.

They sure are handy, but in over seven decades I never found one that didn't eventually leak. Wish there was, because I would feel like I died and went to heaven

Ever walk thorough a factory at night and listen to the air leaks, or notice that the hydraulic equipment shelf is always oily?

A high pressure hydraulic coupler is not necessarily better for low pressure gases than a pneumatic coupler and can be worse.

I don't see them as a flashing red hazard sign, as long as you always have an isolation valve behind them so that you don't have to leave them under pressure for extended periods.

all quick connects will be after a 1/4'' ball valve with viton seals. These quick connects are able to support psi stand alone. But for security measures 3 piece body, 1/4'' ball valves will go before each plug for quick disconnect. This should eliminate constant pressure on the plugs themselves. I am not relying on plugs to hold constant PSI by any means.

I don't mean to sound like an ass when i post. Im just to the business.
