Does anybody know of a source for female 5/8" BSPP fittings? I want to start replacing all my hose barbs with quick disconnects. I was looking at Colder QD couplings, but they don't have any in 5/8" BSPP. John Guest has some fittings for 5/8" BSPP, but they don't take the hose ODs that I would need (7/16 for beer line and 9/16 for gas line).
Would 3/8" JG work for 7/16" OD and 1/2" JG for 9/16" OD? Any other way to adapt male 5/8" BSPP (apparently also known as 7/8-14) to something like 1/2" male NPT would help too, because I can easily get quick disconnects for most NPT sizes.
5/8" BSPP, by the way, is the thread standard for beer shanks. What I am after is to put quick disconnects directly on my shanks, as well as on my mini-keg taps which also have 5/8" BSPP on both the gas and beer side. Currently I have gasketed hex nuts and hose barb nozzles on each of these things.
