    Just a note of caution. Depending on the style of your connector, you may end up dropping ball bearings if you're not carefull when you dismantle it. Always keep the shroud in place over the ball bearings to save losing any.

    Thanks for this. As an add-on to flipping the rubber, I lightly chamfered and polished the end of my fittings so they now squeeze inside that o-ring smoothly rather than pushing up against it. No air leaks to speak of and hopefully will last longer as well.

    Excellent bubba fix DW. The old flip a gasket is a tried and true method. It also helps to condition new gaskets by removing them and soaking them in 303, Armor-All or similar conditioner. Be sure to wipe off excess conditioner (they are partially water-based) before replacing them in fittings.

    So I learned something! Cool. I've found that when I purchase couplers / fittings other than the Milton brand, I experience frustration far beyond the value of the difference in price. Not that I own stock in Milton, but I'm just getting too old to have any patience with air couplers of lower quality. However, if / when my Milton couplers get old and cranky, I'll have a project to play with, rather than just discarding an otherwise good product.

    Try one of the reusable repair hose ends. They have a compression sleeve so you are fighting the darn hose clamps hanging up on everything including you. Pretty cheap and easy. You do need to know the i.d. as well as the o.d. as they are made for all different sizes and types of hoses. When you are done you have a nice factory like connection and you can always use it again the next time. They make male female as well as unions.

    I've looked for the gaskets for these on several occasions(after I've already flipped them), even bought some plumbing ones and haven't found the right size. Somewhere someone has a box of a thousand of these gaskets, I just need a handful. Take care :-)

      I tried punching them out of tire rubber and rubber mudflap and I wasn't successful. Notability I didn't try very hard but cutting a clean hole in the center was key. Leaking air fittings drive me nuts and find they last longer if I oil them with air tool oil.

    • @doublewide6

      I have an epilog laser engraver. I could cut them perfectly using CAD and if I had a sheet of the rubber. I noticed the rubber is really soft and pliable. Unfortunately, this setup is at my work. I have cut carb gaskets in the past and they are always handy to have on hand.

  • @STBRetired1
    @STBRetired1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ooooh, so THAT'S how those things work. I was thinking that the leaking was where the big fitting clamps onto the smaller fitting. The problem now is - Harbor Freight fittings leak right from day one. That would indicate to me that they use a cheap washer or a hard washer that doesn't seat well against that smaller fitting end. Before I go crazy, I'll have to pull some of those washers and get some measurements. Then, see if I can buy or make new washers out of a more pliable material that would seal better. Even if part of the problem IS a loose clamping action between the two fittings, a thicker more pliable washer material would take up the slack and seal better. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. Very enlightening.

    As long as you have the fitting apart you can treat the flat O-ring you flipped over with dielectric grease or 100% silicone spray to preserve the rubber and keep it from drying out. This can also be done on brand new fittings to make them last a lot longer. The treatment also lubricates the rubber so the male end of the tool you plug in will not wear out the rubber.

I would like to see a video on effective tools to spray paint small jobs. I always have problems trying to spray and eventually my guns get clogged. It seems to me it is more work spraying than it is worth, but I watch you and you have awesome results spraying.

      I thought it would help out lots of people. Leaky air hoses are a common problem. Most people think the problem is the male end, but it is almost always the female because the gasket is softer than the brass male end.

    Oh man, I'm a millwright apprentice at a box factory. Constantly surrounded by leaky air quick connects.
    I know what I'm doing next time everything is off. Hunting down air leaks.

      Not only getting rid of annoying noises, this saves energy and $ by saving the compressor having to run...

    There is a large difference in air flow between the bargain couplers and better quality ones.

    Not sure its the same size but looks close to a faucet washer, o-ring.

      william lucas The newer faucet washers work well for this as they are more flexible than the older neoprene washers. They are not as good as faucet washers, however.

      Looks exactly like a "00", "000" faucet washer used on angle stop valves under your sink.

    This probably would have worked if the knuckleheads who built my coupler didn't use a steel spring that rusted out... instead of a stainless steel spring... All brass connector except the pressure component that rusted out. Geeeeez!

    that hose clamped wonder of a hose you have is dangerous at a few levels... known a few guys hurt by "whipping" hoses and clamps that turn into flying knives... seems body shop guys are more prone to getting hurt by them coming apart as they have the hoses over their shoulder more often...

    So you flip the seal and then it starts to leak again in a couple months when the other side wears out. Buy Milton and never have thus issue.

    It would be so easy for the coupler manufacturers to make packs of spare rubber gaskets for their couplers, but of course, then they wouldn't be able to sell us new couplers regularly.
