Re: Alternatives for Signal and Pneumatic Connectors?
I am curious what brand and model of push-to-connector and tubing you are using that has given you problems. There are a number of different manufactures for each. Tubing also comes in different hardness and thicknesses.
Typically when we have a failed connection it is due to the following reasons:
1. The hose was ripped out by a non-normal action/interaction
2. The hose was not properly installed
3. The hose was not cut straight
4. The hose was not re-cut after several installations.
Number 4 is important because the tubing deforms with every disconnection and re-connection. It is standard practice for us to re-cut the hose before re-install.
