I ONLY use dot fittings...i would hate to blow a fitting going 90 in traffic on the highway.
never had problems with home depot fittings.
i have two home depo plastic push connect couplings, never had a problem, was a quick fix sparks from welding got the air line
i've used em plenty of times... no problems, just some minor BS like anything else. hell, i've got DOT metals ones that have leak'd also... use em if you got em
i say to each his own but maybe im hatin becuz we jus got a home depot and havent been there.DAMN THESE HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES!!! what has become of me
I have used their brass compresion fittings and never had a problem. I have had more problems with the plastic quick disconnect kits then I have with the ones from home depot. But who am I? I am just some guy who knows some stuff about some things..
LOL....i was quite unsure myself when i heard about home depot and lowes having fitting that are compatible with airline fittings...well when i burnt through one of my lines sitting at a drive through i used one of the push to connect from HD and its been working great....and its been under 200 psi at times....AND i took a chance and used lowes fittings for my step downs for my tank....works great....so far....i need to order my DOT fittings soon though....i going on 2 months with Lowes/Home depot fittings....
I have $200 worth of Lowe's brass on my ride and no problems...and usually keep 140-180 psi in my tank.
^^ did ya know you could plumb a truck with parker products for under 200 bux???
its like usin 2 links, sure it works, but when there is somethin way better and more reliable, why not use it??
