I have 67 Amazon returns of WRONG connectors.If anyone can tell me what I need (besides a beer) to make this happen. This is my mockup of what has to happen. AFTER I finished my graphic illustaton, I realized that I didn’t want to do CO2 but a LIQUID OUT, but took a pic of whatever was closest to my hand.
hey, im not exactly sure what you mean but i can assume youre saying it doesn’t thread on or doesnt thread on well?
it looks like you have a little nylon washer on the end of the male part of the quick disconnect, which is good.
fill me in on more details - but it looks like you have that tube going into a tube fitting there? maybe it works, but mine goes from left to right connections laid out like your pic:
male threaded Quick disconnect end (can’t remember size/threadcount) > equivalent nut fitted over barbed tip (that you attach the hose to). then after i will attach the hose
I’m not familiar with the fitting you have on the right (push to fit x nut). Do you have information on exactly what that is and where you got it? Pretty much most of what I’ve seen and used is swivel nut x hose barb, and the nut is made for that connection. One thing to check on your side - if that nut was going on a metal tail piece, you need a plastic washer inside the nut. However, you do NOT need that little washer when connecting to the liquid/gas disconnect. The bit of gray on the end acts as that washer.
Is this similar to what you’re trying to configure - a dual push to fit, ball lock to tubing setup?
This is what’s on my Williams Warn bottle filler and works quite well. No leak, easy connect/disconnect, and clean design without adapters to piece together.
It’s a standard 1/4-inch push to fit tubing end and slightly larger (3/8" or 5/16"?) that pushes onto the ball lock barb. Out of town so can’t confirm ball lock size.
Point is, the multi-sized push to fit (DuoTight/John Guest) fittings are readily available and maybe what you’re looking for?
I’m still a bit flummoxed by kegging hardware and the names of stuff. So I used your question for an excuse to dive in. The fitting coming out of the keg post attachment is 1/4" MFL that much is clear. I was generally referring to the push in connectors as Duotight, but it seems that is a brand name and not as nice looking as your stainless push in fitting. Ultimately, I THINK you might just be missing this washer from MoreBeer. Flare Fitting - Washer – MoreBeer!
Here’s hoping.
