The Elkhart 7150 monitor quick-connect base, part 00007150, provides a removable connection between your water cannon and supply plumbing. Its 2.5" female NPT × 2.5" male NPT ends fit a threaded installation, while the quick-connect coupling lets you remove the monitor for storage or access without unthreading the plumbing each time.
Once installed, the coupling locks and unlocks with a one-third turn. The Elk-O-Lite aluminum assembly includes the mating threaded adapters and locking mechanism; the monitor is sold separately.
