Where did you get those pictures from???? Looks like a tough find. I am a good hunter and the best I came up with was these. Reasonable price. But not panel mount or color coded. If you get desperate you can always find someone with a lathe that could turn the hex end down and put a thread on it. Got a good buddy with a lathe????

The picture came from an Australian welding site and they were a bit pricy with the shipping around $40 each. I was going to just spray a set with that new Krylon X-metal translucent spray paint but manage to find some for $12 per set plus shipping from China and will share the link soon.

I just started looking around panel mount quick disconnects, and I found these couplers from Colder Products:

I like these because they are valved on both halves, so fluids will not drip from the cooler end or from the torch. Pretty easy to color code with some shrink tube, or you can just reverse the fittings ... They have panel mount options for both halves of the connection. They also have options for NPT, compression and PTFE in addition to barbed. I'm thinking about mounting these on my welding cart as a remote connection back to the cooler inside.

Hey, thanks, I've been looking for something just like that for a totally unrelated project!

(I was about to resort to outboard motor fuel line connectors...)

Awesome site... I like those chrome plated brass quick connectors.

If anyone wants the red & blue color coded quick connectors just contact: andytoolsales@gmail.com and the costs is twelve USD per set plus shipping from China.

No problem ... I've been using their couplers in my kegerator draft system for years (acetal, NSF listed). Check out the catalog on their website (www.colder.com);they have a ton of options. The couplers are only rated to 180 degrees F, but I figure that if your cooler return is that close to boiling, you have other problems .

Doesn't need to be for what I'm doing, but it helps.

I located another supplier for these colored quick disconnect fittings if anyone would need to purchase them in bulk.
