Robart Retracts question...
 

Do Ineed to put zip ties at all of the robart air line connections &amp; T fittings? or can you just slide the line in and be good? Iput zip ties on some of theT fittingsand oneline started to leak, took the zip tie off and no leak. So what's the best way to make all the connections?</p>

I agree Zip ties will not give uniform pressure, Right at the head the plastic will always have a small 90 degree bend, That bend will be looser than the rest of the zip tie.

Now I've used these [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXET33&P=SM] Little guys[/link] for a little piece of mind, but I've also has systems not leak for years with out them.

good luck
