question about couplings.

Hi there! So I have a question regarding couplings on a cls.
Right now I only have one 316ss hose, both ends are MNPT and need to both go into valves that are FNPT.
The problem I'm having is that I don't want to have to spin the extractor or the recovery tank onto the hose.
So I'm debating what kind of coupling I.should be looking for (full, half etc.) To make this.connection a lot more user friendly. I looked into quick connects but I couldn't find much that was.suitable for use with butane and the ones I did find were insanely expensive.

So say I bought some 316ss full couplings and double male hex nipples. Would I be able to spin the full coupling onto the nipple and the hose without having to spin an.entire component or do I need to keep looking?

Thanks in advance for any insight into this issue. Wish I knew a plumber haha.

look into quick connect/disconnect fittings. makes life so much easier

Do you know of any reasonably priced sources of quick connects that are compatible with butane? Probably not in the same area so online sources would be more useful.

I would adapt it to JIC flare on one end.

Why only on one end? I'm not married to NPT by any means its just what is.already on there. I read your post and then was thinking, well why don't I.just go flare fittings on all the connections.

Would I.be looking for JIC 37 swivel fittings? Just not sure on the name of the fitting.I would need if I went that route. I think swivel fittings are what is currently on.my vaccum hose from pump to chamber.

I use JIC connections at all hoses, but only one end has to swivel to attach the hose.
