Barrow G1/4 Professional Edition Male Quick Disconnect Fitting - Black (TZKM-M)

The Barrow TZKM-M is the male half of the Professional Edition G1/4" quick disconnect. Its plug pushes into the female half TZKF-M, which is sold separately, and locks until you pull back the sleeve on the female half. Fit the two on each side of a part of your loop and you can take that part out without draining the whole system. Black body with a bare brass plug.

Take parts out without draining

A quick disconnect splits the loop at one point. Put one half on each side, for example between a radiator and the rest of the loop or in the line to a graphics card, and you can separate the two later to move, service or swap that part without draining the whole system.

Push to connect, pull to release

Push the male half into the female half until it locks. To separate them, pull back the sleeve on the female half, which is marked PULL, and draw the male half out.

Standard G1/4" threads

Each half ends in a standard G1/4" female thread, so you can screw any G1/4" tube fitting into it, or a male to male adapter to mount a half straight onto a port. The fittings are not included.

Professional Edition, made to match

The female half TZKF-M and the male half TZKM-M are made to work together; Barrow also sells the two as the set TZKMF-M. The body carries ribbed grip slots and the Barrow logo.

Low flow restriction

Barrow says it reworked the inside of the Professional Edition compared with its MINI quick disconnect, so the coolant meets much less resistance on its way through.

Brass and aluminum

Barrow builds the Professional Edition from brass and aluminum alloy. On the male half the plug that goes into the female half is bare brass.
