Quick Release Couplings Maintanance
« on: August 31, 2007, 11:22:34 am »




Just wondered what you fella`s use to help make your quick release couplings
Attach and release freely and in general connect and disconnect etc etc more smoothly.I`ve always every week or two sprayed both the female and male
Parts with WD 40 but find after evarporation some seem to stick again very
Easily.I use the miniature stainless steel couplings not brass.Would a silicone
Spray be more benefical or something quite different? Thanks in advance for
All replies and advice.

Teflon spray, wd 40 will clog the bits eventually
Doing the best job in the world as well as I can

Washing up liquid works well, John Flynn told me about that one.
