Will this continue to flow once disconnected via the disconnect or do I need a Y splitter with a shutoff valve to shut off the gas from the source?

On mine, once the hose is disconnected from the quick-connect, gas does not flow. However, I still shutoff the gas at the source after I've disconnected - I wouldn't trust the quick-connect long-term. The nice thing about the quick-connect is that I don't have to be in a hurry to shut off the gas valve, and can get to it a few minutes later.

The quick connect valve will only allow the gas to flow when they are connected. Like a lock and key.

I would advise a shutoff as a particle of dirt might keep the quick connect open a little and leak gas. I have 4 outlets with the coupler on them and all have a shutoff valve.

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.

I do not see why not. When the gas line is disconnected no gas remains in the lines. I am very satisfied with the reliability of this machine. There is only one drawback to this generator. It is a little more louder than most.

No. These are not flow-control devices, only connectors. The pressure needs to be shut off first... I don't think it will disconnect if pressure exists.FWIW, after getting used to these connectors I am never going back to using the thread-on thread-off attachments.

It does. This is a disconnecting switch as well as a cut out if the pressure drops below a certain point such as if a pipe bursts. It is a good feature to have. Though you have to hold the lever up a bit until the pressure builds past a certain point but once the system is pressurized it works great.

You will need a shutoff if you want one, keep in mind this is an old fashioned sweat system. I installed Pex in my location, the sweat adapters where cheap but I needed an experienced plumber to install them (worked for beer). I thought about putting angled turn off valves in but backed off at the last minute. For the price a great deal for a quality system, also be forewarned you will need to plug that bottom port to the bathtub. I heard there is a plug in the box but I must of misplaced it was not fun finding a replacement.

We built a 4 outlet manifold for ours, each has a ball valve so we can shut lines off or even lower the flow if need be. I'm not sure how your drip system is set up or the size, but either way you should have a valve in place to shut the water off.There is a prime plug that you could attach a pipe and valve to that you could use as a pressure relief. We have those on our larger plant and recycle pumps.

If the flow is reversed. The cutoff valve will be useless. I would not recommend that you do that.

There is no water shutoff for an empty tank - if you're leaving for an extended period of time, I'd suggest either turning it off, or use the garden hose attachment. There is an effective fill tank suppressor, where it will essentially plug the water flow coming in when the tank gets full, but just be sure that your connections are tight, as one time the end snapped off my hose from all of the back pressure.

There is a connector that is installed so that the hose can be connected/disconnected when needed. Very simple and has worked great for me!

usually only when using the air compressor if your 'CONNECTION' is loose at the fillup valve it will turn the unit off and then back on...unless you INSURE a TIGHT CONNECTION.

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.

I think no, this valve has just one connection from your dash switch to transfert from main tank to secondary. When you run on the main tank you have no current on the terminal ( you have just when you are switch on auxilliary tank ). This system don't work when you drive always on main tank, the gas pass free in the valve and your engine stay running.Hope this can help.Regards LangisHabitually on GM product when a gauge go over full it'is the wiring of the gauge that was disconnect or broken bethwen switch and gauge on the tanks

The answer to your question is no.The resvoir side will remain @ the predetermined shut off pressure of the compressor,and the outlet side of the reg will be set by you and remain at that pressure until the source pressure drops below reg pressure.Ie; compressor off.

Yes it does with shut off valve. The hose is only 5 feet long so depending on where you are puting your propane tank you may need an additional hose.

Yes it does it's automatic on the female connector, so if you disconnect it shuts off the flow. I would have liked a manual control but that's really a different animal.

Yes, I have done this many times with this unit. There is no need to shut down the splitter to do this.
