ohhh brass guages........ who wants a beating?

so this is the second tank I have worked on where the dam guage has cuased me so many problems. No matter what wrench I use all I do is slowly strip the dam thing!

I am warming it up right now som maybe it will budge. Guys here is a little tech tip,: when installing air fittins you dont have to be He-Man with a wrench in order to keep it from leaking. Just alittle blue locktite....

tru a flare nut wrench, the kind that contacts all 6 corners but has one open side to get it uver the fitting. i believe that all 1/8" NPT fittings, those used on paintball guns, take a 7/16" wrench.

this is the kind i'm talking about:

thanks, only problem is that they need to be pretty thin. I think I am off to Brad's place tomorrow

Buy a cheap flare nut wrench and make it a little thinner with a grinder?
