I while back I bought a hp hose with brass QD from dive commercial international. It's supposed to be a bail out whip.
I ended up bringing it back becasue it leaked air when not connected. We ended up testing 15 hoses and all of them leaked until finally, one didn't leak.
A few weeks later it starts leaking when the QD is connected to the other end so I take it back and the owner tells me since it's a bail out whip it's "supposed to leak". I think this is bs!
I ended buying very expensive hydraulic fittings. When I bought them the lady behind the desk told me that these weren't garunteed to not leak which is 100% bs because they are hydraulic fittings. If there was hydraulic fluid in there it would leak all over!
On top of that they won't take back the brass fittings even though they leak and suck overall!
