Just a heads up that I had bad luck with quick connect air fittings from http://www.easternmarine.com/. This spring my one bag leaked at the quick connect fitting, this was not a big deal and I swapped it out with a spare. I had an odd problem after that of my bag holding air for a couple days then suddenly deflating 100%. It was not a slow leak but a rather random quick and total deflate. I assumed one of my solenoids was going on my Electrolevel II (with odd Cinnabar upgrade), so I cleaned up the electrical connections with no luck. Before tearing my hair out I purchased a traditional brass fitting and replaced the quick connect. It has been holding air for a week now, so it looks like its fixed. Thankfully it never deflated while I was driving!!

Danial,
WE use the DOT approved air fittings that has a built in farrell and
nut.Push in ones work well in protected area, but outside environment does
not work too well when you disconnect and reconnect.
You'll find that all our kits we make are using the DOT approved with the
screw on fittings.
