I’m trying to set up a quick-connect system for my natural gas crawfish boiler and could use some guidance. Here’s my setup:

  • Gas line on patio: 1/2" female threads
  • Boiler connection: 3/4" male threads

I want to use quick-connect fittings so I can easily detach the boiler and store it in the garage. My initial thought was:

  • A 1/2" male quick-connect for the gas line
  • A 3/4" female quick-connect for the boiler (though I recognize I might need an adapter)
  • A compatible hose to link them

But I’m struggling to find a straightforward kit or parts that match these sizes. Am I missing something? Are there adapters or specific brands that simplify this?

Thank you!

    Are you saying that the male thread in the photo is 3/4 inch? Because you measure the inside diameter to get the size of the pipe.

    Local BBQ or fireplace store would have this sort of stuff.

    Pretty sure you have it backwards. The female quick connect has an auto-shutoff valve built in so should be on the supply side for safety even if you have a ball valve to turn it off manually.
