[QUOTE="ajsdwilson, post: 23388, member: 2515"] Hey...I work for a manufacturer of hydraulic quick disconnect couplings...Dixon Quick Coupling. The Flatface couplings can be a little finicky at times because of the really tight tolerances. If you have leaks when the parts are disconnected, the part that is leaking is the problem...if you have leaks when they are connected, it is the nipple half that is the problem (97% of the time). The main valve seal in the nipple seals the nipple valve when the couplings are disconnected but this main valve seal is responsible for sealing the set when they are connected. If the coupling leaks when connected, then it is the nipple causing the problem. People tend to send the coupler back and we seldom find any problems with it, then we send the customer a nipple. It is really important to wipe the faces clean before making a connection and don't hit the valves with a screw driver to release pressure, the main seal tends to get damaged by the screw driver and/or the pressure trying to bust past the seal.
