Outdoor Shower Quick Connect Issue

Mobean

Quick question.  Reviewed numerous threads on the quick-connect modification for the outdoor shower.  Purchased ½" braided steel water supply hose to connect mixing valve to quick connect.  The water supply hose does not trip the pin in the automatic closing valve in the wall unit mixing valve below.  I can't get water to flow.   What am I missing here?  Special hose for this or does the mixing valve need modification?

I cut one end of the existing hose and slipped it over a barbed fitting with the quick disconnect on the outside of the panel.

( Damn! I have some cleaning to do ... )

Got it.  Prefer to avoid destroying existing hose.  Will research further.

@AnOldUR - I'm hoping to complete your version of the outdoor shower modification.  Do you recall where you found the long, stainless shower hose and the associated quick disconnect?  Thanks in advance.

@Tabinator, the hose came from Amazon, but the disconnects were left over from when I homebrewed. I bought them used on ebay. There are a lot of options for quick disconnects available. Good luck with the project!

Also have had issues with the outdoor shower failing, but I'm going a different route:

I really don't care for the nuckle-destroying shower hardware that NuCamp used, and the one I linked to gets a lot more positive feedback from customers. Fingers crossed that I can make it all fit ok (the cut-out is larger).

@cameron It all depends on how you'll be using your outdoor shower connection. We use it for both shower and as a way to have water out at the picnic table while camping. Having a disconnect with different options on what and how we use it is important to us.
