I am having an issue whereby the type of connectors which I use to connect the various pieces of equipment to leak too easily.
My regulator, solenoid valve, needle valve and drop checker are all seperate pieces of equipment and are connected in line with 6mm co2 tubing, however the equipment which has the push fit connectors (where the tube pushes straight into the connector and is released by pulling on a collar) leaks too easily. I do not know if this is because they are cheap products, not made for co2 hence the rubber o-ring inside deteriorates or what, however I need a solution.
Does anybody know if you can get these types of fittings which instead of push fit being used for the co2 tube, the tube is pushed over a connector and then a retaining nut is hand tightened over the tube? As my regulator/solenoid valve and needle valve are all ok, I do not want to replace the full units, only the connectors.
Thanks
