Anybody use Breco Quick Connects?

[KevinD]

Received 8 sets from a supplier.
Of 8 individual fittings I have used, 6 have blown the seal out past the poppet restricting flow.
Some blow in a day, others a week maybe.

Suppose to be a division of Foster
Made in the USA
High pressure and high heat rated
For Truck Mount applications

I have not had good luck with those...they do not hold up at all........

So which QCs are Jim Martin Approved?

Tia made those about 3 days ago....we were laughing about how the JMA thing was going and how some were taking it to serious and some of the other reply's and she put them together and emailed them over to me......pretty sure she did not run them by Bob first........

Did Bob finally give up the quest for world wide BB domination or is he a ™f mod now?

 

[Jim Martin]

Last I seen he has a thing going on Google

A blog or a three man chat room?

 

[Jim Martin]

Looks like a chat room thing...

For the last two years I have had problems keeping any QC on the front of my truck mount for longer then two months, and I've been using Fosters.. Is there any way to fix a leaker?

Looks like the ones I get from my supplier. Mine have 2 orings inside. A real pain to replace them but they last a long time.

For durability . . .

we like Parker QD's . . .

We do like Stainless Male QD's ,

since they get dragged on the ground frequently.

Larry, do you order yours in with any special seals behind the poppet or just standard seals?

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Parkers here too


When the stock outer O ring goes we replace with Viton

I never really have an issue with the oring seals.
It's the seal behind the poppet that goes on me.
