A standard QD should never let go until the release collar slides back. I use double-acting QDs on my tractor loader. In this arrangement the attaching bracket holds the release collar (and no other part of the fitting) so pulling the hose will release it and I can also connect it with one hand just by pushing the male end into the QD. Not ideal in all situations but useful if (for example) the grapple "falls off" the loader.

They're really not supposed to open up, by any kind of accident. Only something that destroys should do it. Letting high-pressure oil loose is a Bad Thing. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
