Hello,
Seems like a small problem but its giving me a fit.
I am tring to connect a Iwata 8130B Compact Air Flow Control Valve to an airline but the female swivel fitting leaks.
I am connecting to an 1/4 pipe male thread brass fitting and the swivel part to valve body does not snugg up.
I think that maybe it takes a special fitting so as to pull the swivel tight.
In other words I tighten the female fitting on air valve to male brass fitting in the line and it tightens up but the swivel is loose and leaking terribly at the valve body.
It seems I have had this problem on the previous air control valve I used.
I am slightly familar with npt pipe fitttings and all my brass fittings I normaly use are npt.
Thank You
