The Remco QA straight fitting is an in-line quick attach fitting that connects your hose to a Remco pump port with no threads and no tape. It locks onto the 3/4" QA port and clamps to a hose barb on the other end. Two barb sizes, O-ring included. Key Features In-line straight design: Keeps the hose aligned with the port for runs that continue straight off the pump. Pick the elbow when you need a 90-degree turn. Tool-free quick attach: The 3/4" QA end twists and locks onto the pump port. No pipe thread, no tape, no wrench. Two barb sizes: FQ5S-34 takes 3/4" hose; FQ5S-12 takes 1/2" hose. Both use the same 3/4" QA on the pump side. Polypropylene body: Handles SH without the corrosion that cracks brass fittings in chlorinated service. O-ring sealed: Ships with an O-ring on the QA side for a clean, tool-free seal. Specifications Type Straight (in-line), quick attach x hose barb Pump-side port 3/4" Quick Attach (both variants) Hose barb (FQ5S-34) 3/4" Hose barb (FQ5S-12) 1/2" Body material Polypropylene Seal O-ring included (QA side) Chemical compatibility Sodium hypochlorite, surfactants (body) What's Included 1 straight fitting (choose your barb size) 1 O-ring, pre-installed on the QA side Fits any Remco pump with the 3/4" Quick Attach port, including the 5500 Series, FatBoy 5518, Aquajet, and the QA versions of the 3300 Series. It won't fit the Zeus SmoothFlo, which uses 1" FNPT threaded ports instead of Quick Attach. It also won't fit the smaller 5/8" QA fittings or any FNPT-threaded port. A hose clamp isn't included, so you'll clamp the barb side to your hose separately. How the Remco QA Straight Fitting Works The 3/4" QA end seats onto the pump's quick attach port, sealed by the built-in O-ring. No threads, no tape. The other end is a hose barb that slides into your soft wash hose and gets a clamp. Because it's straight, it keeps the hose in line with the port. Choose it when the run continues straight off the pump, and choose the elbow when the hose has to turn right at the port. The polypropylene body is SH-safe and won't corrode like brass. The one wear part is the O-ring. Remco doesn't publish the factory O-ring compound, so for bleach service run a Viton O-ring and flush the line with clean water at the end of the day. Pairs Well With Remco HB x QA Elbow Viton O-Ring Stainless Steel Hose Clamps Rampage Soft Wash Hose Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between the FQ5S-34 and FQ5S-12? The barb size. FQ5S-34 has a 3/4" hose barb; FQ5S-12 has a 1/2" hose barb. Both use the same 3/4" Quick Attach on the pump side. Pick the one that matches your hose ID. Should I get the straight fitting or the elbow? Get the straight when your hose runs in line with the pump port. Get the elbow when the hose has to turn 90 degrees right off the port, like in a tight pump bay. The QA connection is the same on both. Is the Remco QA straight fitting bleach safe? The polypropylene body is SH-safe and won't corrode like brass. The O-ring is the wear part, and its compound isn't published, so run a Viton O-ring for bleach service and flush with clean water after each job.
