Heres the dilema,
I have a new Craftsmen Professional compressor with a max of 150 PSI, and ran 3ft rubber line from the compressor to the regulator and 3ft rubber line from the regulator/filter to the hard lines on the walls. I seem to be leaking air (lost 40 lbs over a 48 hour period) right around the regulator/filter. I didn't know if I could use some sort of braided line with AN fittings and if that would have better seal protection! Basically all of the hard lines are 3/4 Type M copper and none of the sweats have leaks, but the fittings and rubber lines do and I can physically hear them leak. What have you all done?
