Testing compressor?

[David Brady]

Don,



On my coach these fittings are either Clippard or Parker-Hannifen

quick connects. To release the air line, depress on the colloar (either

yellow or green) and pull on the air line. Clip a quarter inch off the

airline (nice and square) and push into the fitting until it bottoms.

Should solve the leak.

I would love to find/repair all of the leaks to my auxiliary system. I
know, for example, that if I wiggle the air fittings to the dump valves
I can induce an audible leak. I don't know how those fittings work, and
hence how to fix them.
