compressor head. Put in a check valve.

what do use other then push to connects? compression maybe? from where?

i always use compression fittings,get mine from a local big rig company,and they even carry some at lowes.

A friend of mine gave me this stuff they use to find leaks in a/c systems. Don't remember the name of it, but it was this yellow liquid that bubbled 100x more than soapy water. You might try looking for something like that.

^ I'd like to know what that's called also, sounds useful.

But like Russ-D said, I had a small leak that I couldn't find anytime, no matter how much dish soap/water/time I used lol.. Turned out my Thomas 315 'reed' check valves were warped and 2 of my compressor heads leaked air back through the filters which I wasn't soaking with soapy water. Could that be your problem? Either way good luck..

yeah i do heating and air work, we use some leak detector called Big Blue, try that its pretty damn good!

u might have to go to a heating and air supply store though
