fittings

what do you use? compression or push fittings. i have never used compression or push fittings. i have always used rubber hose with clamps. what are pros and cons? i am putting air cylinders on a civic using 3/8 line and valves but dont know what fittings to use.

its just folks preference. but i like PTC fittings personally. lil expensive but easy to use. theyre "dummy" friendly i guess u could say. u just push the air line in until it bottoms out then pull back.

how about "d.o.t." rated vs ones that are not. i got some fittings from work where we run 200 psi 24/7 with no probs. but they are not dot rated.

i mix and match. all of my fittings are from home depot. knock on wood no problems so far (6 years).

I always heard that push fittings leak?...I dunno.......

never had ptc leak on me, make sure the line is cut straight and seated all the way

you can try these guys or sd.com

i can get parker push to connect fittings cheaper than sd lmk.

you can go to the big rig shops they have all kinds of fitting and cheap too i usually get the ptc fitting beacause they are easy to install

I have ptc everywhere except for on top of my bags, which are compression. I have a small leak, but guess where its coming from, the compression fittings

i have always used push fittings. never had problems
