From what i've heard from others, rotaries might leak when they get skewed by force with eg improperly bended tubing/or some component weighting on tubing attached to that rotary. No skewing/bending of rotary = usually no leaks.

yes. That is indeed true. but in this case, it's pretty slack and yet has leaked. I presume that once it leaks, it's a goner?Originally Posted by churchy
and 45 degrees might work. though with the fan directly over the fittings, it could be real tight. but I haven't seen any 45 degree 1/4" rotaries around.
as for bitspower, hasn't there been cases where it's leaked as well? (complaints about loosening of the rotary and then leaks)

Warranties aren't gonna work here as they'll be shipped overseas. besides, I must say that 12 USD is REALLY high for a simple fitting that's made in china. Those fesers cost bout 11 pounds a pack of 4. I'm not sure how much a meal at macdonald's or subway costs in the US but I'm pretty sure it costs less than a single feser rotary. The high price may simply be... a lack of competition?
Personally, I've never had problems with compressions. Even those low end innovatek ones which were more of 10/8mm instead of 11/8mm worked pretty well. More of rotaries being the problem. caught a couple of them leaking at the start but they were fixed with proper placement of tubing.
yep. caught a couple of them when I started my loop. but I fixed them with proper placement of tubing. but that particular one was fine till now. (it looks pretty slack isn't it?)
