HELP: my proconnect...

[surfbum]

hey everyone i have a question about a proconnect that i just aquired
i was under the impression that you could connect the proconnect while the line was pressurized. in my case i am unable to (i didnt try to push too hard)
can you connect the proconnect while it is pressurized? do i just need to push harder?
or does the pressure need to be released in order to connect the two ends

any help is appreciated
thanks

Push harder, and it should work.
you have about 10-15 pounds of pressure that you need to overcome to get it in.

It IS hard to connect. push. I use 90 degree swivels to attach my Pro connect to the valve they stand off further than a standard 90 for braided line. Here.
