Has anyone used these with the Ultra Barrier 5/16" gas tubing? The description states that 5/16" line will work, but I've read conflicting accounts online. I haven't seen anything specifically mentioning the Ultra Barrier in use with these quick connects.

BEST ANSWER: I have used it for 3 yrars it works great

Works Ok
I bought this to connect to my sparger wand. Note: the 1/4 in make barb on this is a really loose fit onto the 5/16 tubing. I had to really tighten the hose clamp to get it to be a snug fit and even then I am not sure I had a good seal as I went through a 20 cu ft tank in 2 uses. I ended up eliminating the quick couple by getting a connector with a 5/16 barb on both ends and connecting the sparger wand (after removing the female receiving end) straight to the gas line. Less worry and I have a tight seal with fewer pieces.

great quality and value
I bought this to couple with the CONP775 CO2 adapter. Very pleased with the build quality and solid grip/purchase. Holds pressure perfectly and doesnt break the bank!

2 broken so far
I love this things but they are pricey an not that durable. I have had 2 break, one was a barb and the second was the structure in the front.

Fast and easy
I only use these connectors for CO2, and they are fast, easy and give a positive seal.

One of the best ways to manage your CO2 or any gas line
Makes a snap of rapid disconnection from CO2 or O2 with yeast wand. Always have some extra on hand.

I note that many wineries use the same for their Argon

Very useful for CO2
I don't use these for liquid but find them great for CO2. When I keg it's easy to connect a line to flush out the air. If I was doing it again I'd take a look at the Kent style, but these work fine.
