I hope you guys will forgive me if I play the world's saddest song on the smallest violin for you when you say you have to use all these swivel fittings in your builds because you can't figure out a way to properly radii a tube in a case the size of a closet.



I'm from the old school days when you got e-castrated for using an elbow, so I use as little of the stuff as possible out of habit...and in much smaller cases than you guys. Your builds will still look good without all that crap if you would just be willing to put in a little serious effort during layout.

"Fittings with multiple o-rings have more areas of potential failure. We have taken steps to improve their reliability. The largest change has been in switching to EPDM rubber (black) o-rings from the earlier silicone (red). It makes swiveling joints a little harder to rotate and QDCs a bit harder to connect/disconnect, but the material is more robust. We have also reduced fit tolerance on many fittings.

Our EPDM o-rings are available separately on our website, but not all types of fittings can be serviced in that way. Later angled nozzles and female QDC fittings are permanently sealed. Generally, the internal o-ring material will match the thread collar o-ring (which is visible)."

I stand corrected, thanks for the link MUGEN02.
