[Shop-talk] Air line adapters

[Jack Brooks]

I have several connectors and made short gender/style changing connectors to
keep from having to replace multiple fittings and for borrowed tools.

Is "automotive" the same thing as "Tru-Flate" ?

I was set up with all industrial type, from what I thought was a good source
(not HF).  After a few years of only occasional service, they all leaked
enough to be annoying.  So I switched to the "Tru-Flate" style from MMC
about 10 years ago now, and I've been happy with them.  One or two of the
female couplers had a problem, but disassembling and cleaning the seal fixed
the leak.
