Seems there's always going to be something that leaks a little. My
experience has been that if you mount the quick-disconnects pointed down
or angled below the horizontal they'll corrode and begin to leak if not
stick wide-open. I have one in my shop right now that's permanently
got a blow-gun stuck in it because I'm too lazy to change it.
