CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've always used nickel plated Norgren ptc fitting. They work great with nylon or copper line and I've never had an issue with them leaking. As for the fittings in that diagram, I wouldn't do it like that. There really isn't any reason to use gauges and it just puts one more possible issue into the system. I'll try to get out and take a pic of the valves on my hardbody tomorrow to show you how I have them setup. The way I have them uses less airline and looks cleaner because of it. www.facebook.com/BILLatDivineCreationsPhoto He was taunting me. He's all like "come at me bro!"

cnate777 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I reread the pm that you sent and went and looked at norgren.....they are going to call me tomorrow......so how do those fittings work?????are they like compression fittings, where you put one piece of the fitting on and then a sleeve and then it all tightens together????or no????? As far as the setup in the diagram.....I havent heard anyone using a fitting such as that but a T.....is there a technical name for these fittings......other than a 1/2" T fitting also what about the fittings for the airline Rockford Fosgate Sundown Audio DC Power Inc XS Autometer Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The Norgren fittings are PTC (Push to connect) meaning you just push the line into them until it locks in place. I just pulled up their site and the specific ones I use are the regular Pneufit Push-In Fittings. As for the names, it depends on the fitting. There are many different ones but the ones you'll most likely use will be Equal T fittings, straight adapter, and 90 degree swivel elbow adapter. I will tell you they are not the cheapest fittings you can get but they are well worth the money and will outlast brass compression or other ptc fittings that use plastic in any or all of the construction. www.facebook.com/BILLatDivineCreationsPhoto He was taunting me.
