1 more question :D once you have burped/bled your keg of oxygen can you put say 20psi in and disconnect this fitting without losing any pressure ?

thanks again

Yep. They seal as soon as the connector is removed. They take no pressure to seal too unlike cornies

If you look on there website it will give you dimensions
The coupler won't add loads of height as you can add a right angle connector to the top fitting for clearance
