Marvin,
I have my lubricator connected directly to my compressor,
then about 1' of air line and then a check valve. I
purchased it from a local hydrolic supply place. I can
email the part # this evening. It's cylinderical, about
2" long. Then I got "quick" disconnect fittings for both
ends. Simply press the air line in and it locks. Then
there is a ring around the air line, that you press to
release the air line. Very neat, and no leaks!
Total cost of the check valve and 2 quick disconnect
fittings was about $23.
