  Product Description
The Cadac 8mm 90 Degree Quick Release Coupling transforms how you manage multiple gas appliances with a single gas bottle. This connector fits directly onto Cadac low-pressure barbecues and works with any portable BBQ, patio heater or gas appliance using a 1/4 BSP left-hand thread and 8mm gas hose. The 90-degree rotating tailpiece means you position your gas hose exactly where you need it without wrestling with stiff connections or awkward angles.

Swapping between appliances takes seconds thanks to the quick-action coupling mechanism. Press the blue finger protector, pull the connector free, and the self-sealing valve immediately shuts off gas flow at both ends. No need to unscrew threaded connections or worry about gas escaping while you switch between your barbecue and patio heater. This makes it ideal for caravanners and campers who run several gas appliances but carry limited cylinder space.

The left-hand thread design matches standard UK gas regulators and fits all Cadac portable barbecues including the 2 Cook 3 Stove range. One limitation to note is that this coupling does not work with the newer 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe QR 2024 models, which use a different connection system. The blue protective cap shields the coupling mechanism from dirt and damage during storage or transport, extending the working life of the connector.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thread size does the Cadac 8mm quick release coupling use?
This Cadac coupling uses a 1/4 inch BSP left-hand thread, which is the standard thread type for UK gas regulators and low-pressure gas appliances. The left-hand thread design prevents accidental loosening during use and matches the threading found on most portable barbecues and camping gas equipment sold in the UK.
How does the self-sealing valve work on this quick release coupling?
When you disconnect the coupling by pressing the blue protector and pulling it free, internal spring-loaded valves immediately close on both the male and female sides of the connection. This automatic sealing action prevents gas escaping from either the appliance side or the hose side, making it safe to swap between appliances without turning off the gas cylinder regulator first.
Which Cadac barbecues work with this 90 degree quick release coupling?
This coupling fits all Cadac low-pressure barbecues including the 2 Cook 3 Stove, Safari Chef, Carri Chef and Citi Chef ranges that use an 8mm gas hose and 1/4 BSP left-hand thread. The one exception is the 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe QR 2024 model, which uses a different proprietary quick-release system and requires a specific coupling designed for that model.
What is the benefit of the 90 degree rotating design?
The 90 degree angled tailpiece allows the gas hose to run parallel to the appliance body rather than sticking straight out, which saves space and reduces the risk of kinking or damaging the hose. The rotating action means you can position the hose outlet at any angle around the connection point, letting you route the gas hose away from hot surfaces or around obstacles without putting strain on the connection.
Where should I install this quick release coupling in my gas setup?
Fit the coupling between your gas hose and the appliance inlet. The threaded end screws directly into the gas inlet on your barbecue, patio heater or other appliance, while your existing 8mm gas hose connects to the quick-release socket. This placement lets you leave the coupling permanently attached to each appliance and simply disconnect the hose when you want to move the gas supply to a different device.
Do I need different couplings for different gas hose sizes?
Yes, this specific coupling works only with 8mm internal diameter gas hose, which is standard for Cadac portable barbecues and many camping gas appliances. If your gas hose has a different internal diameter such as 6mm or 10mm, you need a coupling sized to match that hose. Using mismatched sizes creates gas leaks and poses safety risks, so always check your existing hose diameter before purchasing a quick release coupling.
