Rectus 19 or rectus 26. They're bigger, but MUCH tougher & better suited to the job.

Will a 26 female fit the standard 21 male? Must admit I'm getting a bit fed up with 21s

Nope, they're completely different so you'll have to change both sides.

 hi
 i have eazi fit but they are to weak. just thought i would mention i was in protec and they do an airline connection in stainless steel same as rectus but bigger.

 what i liked was there was a steel gaurd on the front edge so its not the moving parts getting banged about.

 might try it .

I use plastic hoselock type connectors, with a tap valve on the female end... Much better than any rectus fittings I've ever used. Much cheaper to replace to, not that I've had to replace any yet ;)
