    Did you get PTC or nickel plated?? The price you said on FB seemed high! I know I spent $90 on all mine but I got 14 fittings and the 4 for airilines out of tank and the 2 for my leader hoses are nickel plated

    there ptc but 4 of them are the ones that are 1/2 x 1/2 x1/8 for the gauges since im running a line from each bag and i believe those alone were 12 something a piece. and the others are nickel plated.

    just my opinion

    PTC works great for 3/8" lines but if you're running 1/2" lines, you should go with compression fittings. Do it right the first time and you'll save all the air leak headaches

    Ya I'm a little scared about running PTC on 1/2" lines. I usually run compression on 1/2" as well

    IDK my 1/2 comp fittings leak like a beoch and Ive re-taped them 2x and replaced the ferrals 2x still leak a bit. HOWEVER I run 200psi so im sure PTC would do me NO good.

    Have you tried the parker line with their barb fittings? I loved those and had no leaks with 200+ psi on my fullsize. I had leaks from my valves, not from any of my fittings...amazing stuff but super $$$$

    side note: DO NOT MIS CUT YOUR HOSE AND INSTALL YOUR BARB FITTING WITH PARKER, YOU WILL NEVER EVER GET THAT BITCH OUTTA THERE.
