Quick Disconnect Questions

Does anyone know if the quick disconnects used for standard airtools will work for an HVLP gun. The directions in my GTI say to only use the DeVilbiss quick disconnects made for HVLP guns? I ask because I tried putting the air regulator onto my GTI then a quick disconnect onto that. Can't seem to get the air leaks stopped and I've never had this problem before with any of my other airtools. It may just be the regulator? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks-Stretch

Nevermind, let the loc-tite set-up over night and everything sealed right up. Ran my first batch of primer through the gun this afternoon, DREADFUL! I've got a lot of learning to do, but I'm loving it.

Sorry,missed this one.If they leak I use a few twists of thread tape.Cleaning it all up when you pull it back off sucks though.The HVLPs recommend the larger 3/8 setup to give the volume of air these guns require to work.I run my gravity feeds this way and it's a different and better gun.
