I have some quick disconnect fittings on my garden hoses.  They don't
seal when you disconnect them.  But one that I have does.  The problem
is, that when the water pressure is applied to the hose, I really can't
push a plug into that coupler as the water pressure keeps the valve in
the coupler closed.  I never use that water hose coupler...
