I had to spend extra money on motorhome drinking supply hoses. Am I defeating that by using brass fittings like these, Quick Disconnects and others?

I dont understand the question but these will work fine for drinking water use. Mine have been outdoors for more than a year and still work great. Built strong.

Hi. Brass is a lead alloy and pipes are supposed to be lead free. However this is only 1 inch of brass. If you have elevated levels of lead I would stay away from this. You try it and get a water sample. I like the brass ones because they are built better and made to last. Plastic ones crack.

If my memory serves me right, it seems like I bought extra fittings I didn't end up needing. I think you'll be all set. Works great btw

buy 3/8 inch rubber hose with 1/4 inch MNPT ends and if you purchase the Campbell hausfeld MP2847 1/4 airtool accessory kit from amazon it will give you the quick disconnects you will need for the hose.

I do not use quick connectors for gas units. I prefer the standard threaded connections, and I added a ball valve shutoff incase of a gas leak.

There are no special fittings needed. The typical generic ones that you can get from any hardware store. I got mine from ACE but again, they were nothing special, rather ACE was the closest hardware store to my house.

I believe the hose faucet we buy these for is is arrowhead brass, which is mostly what we use. The fine thread is a safty feature to prevent a standard hose thread connection and by passing the back flow preventer. Have a Plumb-Better day !!!!

Typically, it is Intex that has it's own unique threading to prevent the customer from buying a standard, cheaper connection from any plumbing supplier. The more expensive equipment typically uses standard dimensions available at Home Depot and the like. With that said, the answer is probably no. If you have the ability, the best fix is with standard pvc pipe and fittings available at all hardware stores. These will last years rather than a year or two before leaking. Hope that helps. william

I'm not sure what type of gun you have but you should have checked your connection before you purchased it.investigate if its cheaper to return it and buy the right hose or to purchase the right gun.. Remember that you will have to pay return shipping since it was your fault you did not verified before you orderd.

The end where you connect the air hose could be an automotive or household style quick disconnect. Just go to your local hardware store and buy the other style.

I bought a hose from Harbor Freight and I also purchased a couple of quick disconnects from Amazon. I installed one quick disconnect on the hose and the other on the airbrush. To hook up to the compressor you may need a 1/4 or 3/8 to 1/8 inch reducer that you should be able to find at Home Depot or Low's in brass. The hose should have a 1/4" fitting on both ends.

I had the same problem with the hoses with plastic fittings. This hose has metal and to date it has not given me any trouble. Guessing time will tell.

It has standard threaded fittings to attach to the kind of flexible hoses that you can buy at any plumbing supply store, hardware store, or home improvement store. You will need to measure the distance from the faucet fittings to your shut-off valves to determine which length hoses to buy. And believe me, you should buy new hoses instead of using old ones, unless you want to have about a 70% chance of a leak; once a supply hose is used for some time, the sealing surfaces get slight deformities on it, and trying to get a good seal to a new mating surface is usually a lost cause.

Yes, there is a problem. The internal valve has a tendency to stick within the first two weeks, impeding water flow. The only way to prevent this was to remove the valve completely, eliminating the handy feature of having a quick connect that doesn't require turning the water off to move the hose. The other issue is as others mentioned. The ones I bought were brass, but about one in 5 chronically leaked. If I had it to do over, I would not have purchased.

This unit has solid copper piping coming directly out of the faucet and ending in mail threats. It's the old classic connection. You will need to buy additional hook up hoses, Such as the braided metal, etc. I actually prefer this type of hook up. I compared thiswith a Pfister faucet that was a plastic mess and lick incessantly. My Premier Faucet does not leak!

This hose has the fittings that are found on a small disposable propane tank, not the kind that you find on an RV. It won't do what you need.

Get the set with the ball valves included. The price, as I remember, ended up being about the same. Get the hoses with the low loss fittings on the end. These fittings leak and spit liquid out every time they are removed. Its unavoidable. Yellow jacket makes some really great low loss hose fittings...

The flow is supposed to shut off. However, most quick connect type fittings ( I'm very familiar with the compressed air quick connects) eventually leak and I believe these might as well. To eliminate the chance they would leak a ball valve is included. After 1 year mine seal very well without using the ball valve.
