I guess I let my filters get too wet. This is about my PCP compressor’s pressure hose.
The way I have it set up is that the small end of the hose is attached to a big blue filter chamber, which gets attached to the compressor’s output fitting. The other end of the hose - with the channel lock teeth marks all over it from my unsuccessful attempts to open the filter container and change it - is what I attach to the foster fitting to any of my PCPs.
Since something evidently happened I should have been more aware of, the compressor forced a too-wet filter into the fill probe for my Diana Bandit. My feeble attempts to remove it have been in vain. I suppose 3000 PSI will do that. (I’ve ordered a replacement fill probe.)
My question for those more experienced than me is this: what do you call the smaller of the two ends of the pressure hose (photo 2, below)? (I figure once I know that I should be able to find one.)
I’ll need it to go on the blank end of the replacement pressure hose I just bought (photo 3, below). I couldn’t take off the big end of the hose I now have using two channel locks, so I figured I better buy a replacement I haven’t wrecked.
BTW, given how tight the nuts on the longer of the two ends above are, how do you manage to change the filter that I am guessing is inside the longer end? Due to the pressures involved I understand why the seals have to be so firm, but wow.
Obviously one of the answers should be to take off the “small end” of the hose I now have and put it on the new hose I ordered but I suspect that small adapter is going to be as tough to remove as its other end is. How do you all handle it?
Thanks.
