Re: Pneumatic Tanks

Less joints is always good. McMaster (and others) sell some t-joints that are threaded on one side and quick connect on the other sides. Being careful with your joint and connector selection will let you reduce the number of joints in general which leads to more reliable pneumatics all around. I cringe at all the little stub joints used to bridge between fittings. Every one of those is a potential failure waiting to happen.
