Fat Sack Quick Release/Disconnect

siuski · Posted: May 20, 2004 6:51 am Post subject: Fat Sack Quick Release/Disconnect

I know I've seen a post on this before, but I couldn't find it. I'd like to get away from the waterbed fittings used to connect the fat sack to the fill/drain hose. What parts (and where to get) does everyone else use to quickly hook up to the fat sacks, quick connect/release is the way I'd like to go but the ID's of the one's I've seen at the hardware store are to small for quick fill or drain.

I've also seen a thread to create a new fill/drain holes in the side of sacks. Any Ideas??

Click on the "QWIK-LOK" tab on the side...

Haven't used them but I think I may go w/ some of this stuff for my ballast system when I get around to making it. I really like what I've seen of the valves they use on the site..........

Levi-

Thanks for the reply, I found the link over on wakeworld, I ordered two pairs of the barb and socket. I'll let you know how they work. I also found how to make the fill/drain holes in the sacks follow this link if you're interested...pretty slick.
