So Long Leaks

[WOODIE40]

So long to leaking quick connects went all Tri fittings.

Little warm when brewing but with the aid of some changes I don' have any changes to make and the big thing leaks are gone. Seem I was always having to replace a dang O-ring. When you look at real close the thickness of the O-ring was the seal and it fits over the male in not much of a seal

With the Tris large gasket setting in a groove clamped together with a clamp don't think I can ever wear it out.

Thanks Swagman

Looks similar to the ones on my ferminator, really nice not to worry about leaks. But cam locks also work really well if you can get some with viton or high quality silicone seals.

I looked at cam locks and its almost the same thing a flat surface pushing against a o-ring. O-ring degrades and its back to leaks.

What kind of QD's were you using?

I'd be curious if anyone has ever had leak problems with camlocks. I think it's a completely unwarranted concern. Sleeve/ball lock QDs (like air tool connections) require manual pressure to the seal while the ball bearings just hold it in place. Camlocks use levers and mechanical advantage to apply a lot more force to the gasket.
