Stainless steel or brass couplers?

I heard that is a very expensive option on an inflatable. Are they hard to get back into the bag when you are done with them. A bag full of females?? where the hell do you live???

Good point. I try not to mix them

I find that the females go faster...the male end can be brass...because the male brass last just as long as the male stainless

Little tip I got the other day..... Stainless are a lot more expensive but as far as quickconnects go the part that wears out is the male end and not that often does the female fitting wear out so use ss male fittings and the cheaper brass female QCs. Saves a lot of $$$

I just have one hose 200' one piece...I hate qc damage

I don't know if it's the heat, or the pressure.  We're using 1500 psi on grout.  Most couplers are locked up after a day or two. The machine runs 6 hours a day, 3 days a week.

The brass couplers cracked and busted alot when I ran my carpet cleaning business in Minnesota 20 years ago.  If it got down to 35 degrees and not even freezing the things would crack.  Id have to say stainless steel is the way to go.
