P-Valve quick disconnect

[LKunze]

For anyone interested in making a quick disconnect for their p-valves below is a parts list from McMaster-Carr.  It consists of two barbed hose connectors.  I just rigged mine up today.  This is much nicer when you want to get out of your suit between dives. 

Here's the parts list from McMaster :

5012K83 Acetal Quick-Disconnect Tube Coupling, Socket For 3/8" Tube Id, 1/4" Coupler, Shut-Off 1 Each
This one goes on the hose connected to the suit. It shuts off when disconnected so if you are using a balanced valve and it fails or if you are using an unbalanced valve with the bolt screwed out your suit won't flood.

5012K72 Acetal Quick-Disconnect Tube Coupling, Plug For 3/8"TUBE Id, 1/4" Coupler, Straight Thru 1 Each
This one goes on the condom catheter.
