Guys,
I'm about to embark on plumbing my shop for compressed air.
I have a hodge podge of quick connectors for my air hoses and lines. Some from Tractor Supply, some from Harbor Freight, maybe a couple others from who knows where. I have had some fly apart, some get stuck, and some that won't couple.
What brands have you bought and put into service that were durable? I know Harbor Freight is already scratched off my list. They won't get used 10 hours a day, but I would like to buy them once and be able to forget about them.
Background for the setup:
I have settled on 1" black iron pipe for all the piping. once I leave the compressor I am constructing a "cooling tower" from 1" copper pipe. I have the pipe running up, over, down, over, with 4 traps/drains in the drops.
The hard line will have the air exiting in a gooseneck fashion of up, out,and down with a trap and drain at the bottom of each drop as well.
