I have a hose that I need to attach to some PVC, but needs to be removable for maintenance. I found some threaded PVC ring, which I can glue to either side, that allows for it to be separated, the problem is there are so many threads, it requires 20-30 rotations, which means the hose needs to be twisted many times, and there isn't much space available for that. What is the name for a kind of fitting that allows for much quicker disconnect of PVC and PVC-sized plastic piping?

here is one union that I have used, and it works well. it's for a 3/4" dia. PVC- something you failed to mention in your question. Of course, this attaches to PVC tubing on each end, but it might could be used in your situation with some additional fittings, depending on what kind of hose you're referring to. A garden hose with metal threaded ends? what's dia. of hose and PVC involved? what's the application for the hose/PVC? IOW, how much pressure might be involved?
I don't know if it's "quick" but IIRC, it doesn't take as many turns as you mentioned.
