KENT Systems: A Comparison
From kentsystems.com

The KENT Systems quarter turn quick coupling system is an uncomplicated and revolutionary design. Our quarter turn locking system is a superior design to other coupling methods.

A cam activated double valve that easily shuts-off flow to the couplings when disconnected. (The benefit of this feature is most evident at high pressures. This valve makes high pressure applications just as easy as low pressure applications.)

A common quick coupling is the push button style coupling. The advantages of the KENT Systems coupling over a push button coupling are safety, ease of use, and efficiency. A pushbutton quick coupling will accidentally disconnect by just tapping the button and since they are spring loaded, the disconnect may be overly forceful. A common problem in some situations is the button may be hard to find especially if it is on the underside of an application, in a position that may be hard to press. At high pressures, the push button design is difficult to insert and dangerous when the couplings accidentally fly apart. With a quarter turn quick coupling the user can grip anywhere on the base of the product and turn it to connect and disconnect. Also, the ease of connecting and disconnecting is the same regardless of the pressure.

Products & Services
Quick connect fasteners can be easily assembled without the use of tools.
Quick couplers are used in hydraulic or pneumatic systems to quickly connect lines without losing fluid or fluid pressure.
Inductive electrical and electronic couplings are used in the non-contact transmission of electrical power or electronic signals through stationary, rotating, or moving equipment via an inductive connection.
Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source.
AC-DC adapters accept AC input voltage directly from a wall outlet, and output DC voltage.
