I was thinking of just applying some silicon to my fittings. I would think it would be easier to pull out the fittings later if I needed to. What has everybody else done?
what's the deal with the fittings not making a tight seal? Fittings are made by the same company that makes the sac and they can't get a water tight fit? That seems unacceptable?
not sure, my sacs from fly high and fittings seemed tight and had O-rings on them, I used no glue, and don't seem to have any problems, maybe other sacs are different?
I got the fly high sacs but did everything in the ballast system myself. I did not buy the fly high fittings. Just saving a little money by not ordering like 15 fittings at 5-7 bucks a piece.
mine have never leaked, even after I busted the glued in factory fittings loose with a pipe wrench to use on my new bags when I got bigger ones. You could use pipe tape to seal them up, that way you have a chance of getting them off in the future. A dab of silicone lube would help ensure a seal as well.
is there any better option out there other than waterbed fittings for the older type bags that use them? I have waterbed fittings and they leak CONTINUOUSLY!!!
