  • 1/4 turn locking fittings?

    Not EXACTLY sure what I am looking for but I am looking for possibly a quarter turn/quick connect fitting. I'll try to explain what I am doing. Take 2 10" pieces of 4"x4" 1/4"wall tubing with a 1" plate welded on one end of each. The other end will have a piece of 1/4" plate capping the end. The 1/4" capped ends of each tube need to be able to be connected and disconnected rather quickly without tools , yet also feel as one when they are connected together. ultimately the pressure should be applied from 1/4" plate to 1/4" plate with a seperate fitting/mechanism/assembly to secure/tighten(if needed) them. Any thoughts? Thx.Dave

        Dzus fasteners? Drag racers use them to be able to quickly dismantle and assemble their cars in the pits between runs. I don't know the strength specs on any of them but I'm sure it shouldn't be hard to find online.

          These are a little spendy, but they look stout.

          A step up style wise (I think) from hood pins and tougher than Dzus fasteners, Weigh more too though if that's a consideration.

            Forgot to mention they also have a twist-lock style. Click on the videos to see them installed.

              Don't know the exact name but I imagine some sort of camlock fastener or bayonet Mount type of hardware.
