Some of my fragrances come out the gun and some don't. It seems the ones that don't come out of the gun are leaking around the 1/8" compression fittings. My combo VAC's are IVS. There are several compression fittings leaking on my fragrance and shampoo VAC's. Should I replace all the fittings on these? Is it possible to pull new 1/8" lines through the house to the gun or should I replace the whole assembly?

I bought some Parker push-in tubing fittings to not have to mess with the compression fittings anymore.

The trick to pulling new tubing through the hose is to tie the tubing to something, pull it straight and slide the hose over it.

I shouldn't have call them compression fittings. They are the same as you are describing. Parker push in. I need some 1/8" to 1/8" y's. Do you know where I might find these? And where I can buy the small tubing by the foot?

I get that from a local Parker distributor. I'm sure someone sells it online. I asked Fragramatics to sell me some, but they refused, said something about it being too risky that someone will order it, get it all tangled and try to return it. They will sell the set of three tubing and the wire precut to length, which I order and pull through a blue pressure washer hose.
