My solution line sprung a leak, it appears to be a pin size hole, but a pain in the butt, I've tried every kind of tape I have. No luck, just need to hold up for a couple of days til I can get to town and get it fixed right. Thanks!
"pin" leaks?
so I'll ASSume it's Parker Parflex
if so...here's what you can do for a temporary fix.
Note; I've done this before as an ad hoc repair and it's worked fine...but should NOT be considered safe
so use
AT YOUR OWN RISK, cause I'll accept NO responsibility.
go get a brass 1/4" hose barb with 1/4" male pipe threaded end
Cut the bad end off the hose .
Lube the hose barb with oil, or pre-spray, soap, etc.
use a block of wood to pound in the barb.
(you'll have to pound it in, cause it's tight and you won't be able to push it in by hand)
the block of wood will keep you from destroying the male threads.
add a hose clamp of appropriate size.
screw on your QD and get to work.
TURN PSI DOWN to below 400.
300 to 350 MAX.
keep the heat at "moderate" temps..no more than 180
