just got very lucky
Thanks for the pic and post.
Tractor Supply had those 3-way doo-dads on cheap a while back and I grabbed one. By the time I had $50 of adapters and fittings in hand to get it to fit, I decided that I didn't need it as much. I would have probably done it like you did. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com |

I would have probably done it like you did. Your fittings should have screwed right into that three way port - they're simple 1/4 NPT threads. I had one once but I quit using mine also, just because it was too cumbersome. -- -Mike- |

Yea, I still have it setup like I did for the small 7gal tank where I needed a disconnect. The problem is that the lines are already run, so turning them in is just not happening unless I cut off the crimpped ends, and put some barbed connectors on. -- Jeff |

I run pretty high pressure and I have never had any long term luck with those things. Now - if an end goes south on me, I just junk the air line and get a new one. You could though - and maybe I will try this myself next time one bites it, take your bad hose to NAPA. They make hoses there and I'm sure for a small enough fee, you can get a real end crimped on thus really renewing your line. -- -Mike- |

My hose is run through out the basement with drops all the way to the garage. So it's not coming down easily. I have used barbs, I found that fastenal sells barbs that fit better than HF or Home depot, those barbs are too small, not a full 3/8. Fastenals are really the right size... But I prefer the crimp... I would love to get a good hydraulic crimper that I can use for wire and hoses with various dies. They are quite expensive. -- Jeff |
