Jiffy-tite® Quick-Connect Fluid Fittings

In racing, it is absolutely mandatory that the fuel pressure regulator provides stable and proper fuel pressure to the carburetor, especially under extreme conditions. Until recently, changing out a regulator, or testing the fuel supply with traditional fittings required dealing with leaky dripping fuel lines, and then making sure the fittings are properly torqued. The quicker, easier solution is to use Jiffy-tite® Quick Connect Fluid Fittings provide a safe leak-proof seal and unsurpassed performance even under the most extreme racing conditions; allowing changeovers or checks to the fuel to occur in seconds, not minutes.
Made of lightweight, 6061-T6 aluminum, brass valves, and stainless steel ball bearings, they are corrosion resistant for long life and feature a ribbed collar that provides a slip-proof grip. Now available in a stealth black finish, Jiffy-tite fittings are one of the most technologically advanced fittings on the market today. These fittings exceed flow requirements specific to each application and connect in half the time of competitive products.
Jiffy-tite Quick-Connect Fluid Fittings are also available in straight, 90º, or 45º elbow configuration for those hard to reach areas in a wide variety of thread styles to meet your every needs. Jiffy-tite fittings are designed to replace any fitting in any location.
