Hi Austin, I only use the two pieces and have no attachments. Sorry i couldn't help. Try calling the company you bought it from and see if you can return it. My two piece does not leak.

Where is the leak? At the threads, or from the male/female connection? There is a very thin, black "O" ring in the female part that may not be making a good seal when you insert the male end. If the connector is new, and the "O" ring is damaged or missing, you should be able to get a quick replacement from Amazon. Also, if you get a failure later in the life of the connector, the neoprene "O" ring is very common and can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot. If the leak is at the threads, you might try using some plumber's teflon tape. Good luck.

I purchased 2 of these Kits for my Craftsman Riding Mower. They Leaked like a seeve at the Quick Disconnect. They were Discontinued by the Manufacturer. I Returned the 2 I purchase for a Full Refund. I hope this helps you.

Hope someone has an answer, I have the same problem including one that leaks. What a waste of $$$

I went to a GOOD (Lots of inventory) Ace hardware store (Not a Lowes or Home Depot) that had all of the adapters. I found all of the fittings to make it work. Home Depot and Lowes only have a small number of fittings that small. One one of the fittings I had to use the white Teflon tape to reduce the leakage -- but it worked fine.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

Mine leaked. Your best bet is to return it but I was too lazy. I used an old sock and then the plug to prevent the table from leaking.

You need to have both power cords plugged into each other for the automatic shut off. If you are only going to use one plug it has to be the one with the metal thing on the top. I you are referring to low water output you may need a fatter hose.

Mine is very tight, no worries about it being knocked loose. If your comes out too easily you may have a defective unit.

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

make sure water pressure is OFF you cant release coupling if under high pressure shut water off ...press hanle and let out water...then it will release.. What every one thinks is that this is a auto-shut off connection...its not Hope this helps.. mike

The end where you connect the air hose could be an automotive or household style quick disconnect. Just go to your local hardware store and buy the other style.

No. Both of the hoses I own have the same problem. I just wrapped tape around the connectors and don't use the function that shuts them off at the connector, because then they leak right through the hose. It's a problem I just decided to live with. Otherwise I like the hose.

I'd wait to put it in until it's low so it's mostly filled with the stop leak. Mine was all the way out when I put it in (my leak was obviously much faster). Others might suggest something else, but that's what I'd recommend.

Get quick release adapter...Male on compressor end. Ask any hardware store...Good luck.

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

I returned this unit months ago and I don't have much luck with it. It leaks through the main system. Go check out the Costco model which I am very please with it.

Loosen and retighten the bolts at each joint. If it still leaks, it is defective. Return it to Amazon.
