erkish, when you order them, can you please log the part numbers. Ive been wanting to buy them but i never know which one im suppose to get. (then again i never really looked and you're going to make this easy for me.
)
Well, today I took the nipple off the tank to try and figure out what size it is. Nobody could tell me.
It's a rather random size that isn't common apparently. So that kind of kills my idea for putting it right at the outlet for the tank unless I get someone to cut off the existing thread and put on something more common which I don't want to do.
As for the part numbers that pompetta used:
I have the chrome-plated brass quick disconnects from omega.com

Here are the part numbers and prices for the chrome-plated brass couplings:
FT-LCD170-05: $18
FT-LCD220-05: $11.15

Omega is a great company from whom to order...fast shipping and great customer service.
But prices have gone up...? Dang weak $
FT-LCD170-05 $24 5/16" ID hose barb, In-line, 2.00" Length, Shutoff, Coupling body 1/4" flow
FT-LCD220-05 $15 5/16" ID, Hose barb, Straights, 1.35" LC Length, 1.85" LCD Length, Shutoff, Insert 1/4" flow
I THINK that if you wanted to save a bit of coin, you could go with a shutoff on only 1 side and get a
FT-LC220-05 $7 5/16" ID, Straights, Hose barb, 1.35" LC Length, 1.85" LCD Length, Straight thru, Insert 1/4" flow
It'll save you $8 but you'll spill a bit of gas that's in the line.
