I was not aware that the quick connect was a greater restriction of flow? I use them.
Had one that started leaking - it was a little loose for some reason. I took an "O" ring rubber gasket and pushed that down in the female end. I then could not get the male end to go in all the way. Pulled it apart and to my dismay discovered that the O ring had actually snapped down into place under lip and disappeared. I was able to dig it out with a screw driver with a bit of work. I then tried the connector one last time and they surprisingly snapped together tightly with no slop. I hooked it back up and had absolutely no leaking.
Apparently that "O" ring forced the original gasket below it back into place, saving me from buying a new connector, which I would have done, as I like working with connectors vs screwing together connections. Might be a useful fix if someone has a connector that suddenly doesn't seal like it used to.
