Ok, I'm working on my RTPro and fiddling around with a few things. Right now I have a 90 degree elbow coming out of the valve, which is going into a 45 degree elbow, which is going into a male QD end.
I am at work so I will attempt and ASCII picture to illustrate this.
/|-----
/ | QD |
----|45|-----
90 | /
----|/
The reason I have done this is that I cannot find a 90 elbow in my area that has a long enough fitting so that I can use the QD. The 45 brings the QD high enough on the valve so that with the QD has enough clearence to attach.
I have 2 questions about this....
1. Will there be a detrimental flow restriction with this setup?
2. If I switch to an AGD elbow and QD setup, will this give me the clearance I need off the valve?
I will post pictures when I get home so that you can see exactly what I mean.
