THESE are for compressed air! As bad as these leak they are not really even good for that.

You need these...

What HE said...... They are relative poor quality and will LEAK.... DO NOT USE FOR FUEL OR OXYGEN........ Only use quick disconnects designed for welding/torch work in glass studio....

These HF cheapies are only good for work shop to connect air tools or tire inflators where leaks are a irritation not a safety hazard.......
