If it's the threads rather than the connectors leaking then PTFE tape will do the job.

its the connectors as i already PTFE tape the threads.

I've been using these http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/ra...5-B0C43C0232A8 they seem to seal fine and are cheap.

go to your nearest engineering supplies place, they normally stock this sort of thing.

Most engineering suppliers or hydraulic equipment suppliers will have the same type connectors.

Good morning all.

I find that the best connector for smaller airlines is called ISO B12. They're normally available from good industrial suppliers that stock pneumatic fittings, & they don't cost much more than the PCL type shown in the Machine Mart ad.

Cheers.
