SS Compression fittings? SS Lock nuts (for weldless fittings)? I have a hard time finding small SS locally, and I'm sure McMaster is less expensive than B3.
Good suggestions. I have access to SS compression fittings, although locknuts might be a good add. In one of my previous McM orders I got a lifetime supply of o-rings for rebuilding kegs.I alwasy find things to buy at Mcmaster. love that placeYou may want to get some O-rings for re-building corny kegs. I always like to have those on hand.

It's a 1/4 turn quick disconnect style fitting.WTH is a luer lock anyway?
The McMaster spec page says it will handle 125psi. They might not be the same ones you work with, just the same connection mechanism.https://www.mcmaster.com/#51525k216I use Luers everyday at work for IV setups. There is no way i can see these things being able to stand up to any pressure. Id like to hear how/what George uses them for.

Interesting. Nope, its the same exact thread, that's what makes them a Luer. Personally, i wouldn't trust them. But i can see the attraction. Let us know how they work for you.The McMaster spec page says it will handle 125psi. They might not be the same ones you work with, just the same connection mechanism.

Why wouldn't you trust them? Do they fail often?Interesting. Nope, its the same exact thread, that's what makes them a Luer. Personally, i wouldn't trust them. But i can see the attraction. Let us know how they work for you.

Just make sure to really tighten the collar that connects the Luer together. There is really no seal in there.Why wouldn't you trust them? Do they fail often?

Good call on the epoxy nozzles. I have to check my lab to see if I have any, if not I'll order some.Gaskets to replace the one that sprayed you.epoxy tube mixing doo-dads for flow restriction.
What do you use the aerosol silicone lube for?I use this stuff on my mill and other places where I need food grade grease:1242K11 Food-grade Multipurpose Alum-thickened Grease, Standard, 14.5-oz Grease Gun CartridgeI also love having this stuff around:1408K34 Silicone Lubricant, Food Grade, 10-ounce Net Weight AerosolMike

I get what you're saying. When George first posted about using the Luer Lock connectors I was surprised you could use them for pressure service, but the fact that they're rated to 125psi gives me some comfort.Here's a link to the thread that George posted:https://www.brews-br...wtopic=3539&hl=Just make sure to really tighten the collar that connects the Luer together.
