Hi folks. I bought this and this:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=34705
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93104
Both are Central Pneumatics. I'm trying to use them as a CO2 Manifold.
When i plug the "male" part into the "female" part, it leaks CO2 like crazy....not a slight leak, but a big massive huge leak. I tried hitting it with 40 psi, and 10 psi....it won't seal. Only way I can make it seal is to pull on the collar on the female part, (to retract the ball bearings), and push the male part until it bottoms out and stops leaking...
Am I missing something here? Should there be o-rings on the male parts? I figured since they are the same manufacturer, they should work.
