Re: Leaking air

Too much tape can also cause problems with fragments getting into the air flow and reaching the solenoid valve spools, where they can jam spools and cause a failure. A couple of wraps is sufficient. Just assemble your system tightly and with care.

Re: Leaking air

by "tape the crap out of it" I mean "tape the crap out of it until there is plenty but not too much". We don't have more than 3 wraps on any one fitting.
