Reuse Quick Disconnect

[bluedunn]

Hi-

Is it OK to reuse a quick disconnect fitting?

For example, I'm replacing some hoses on my loader with new hoses, which have male NPT fittings. Is it OK to reuse the female quick disconnect that screws onto the male NPT? There's nothing wrong with the quick disconnect.

Thanks for any help!

Why not? If they operate without leaking they are good to go.

Only thing to wear is the internal 'O' ring and it's easily replacable.

Ok, good to know. Wasn't sure if he threads got distorted somehow when threaded onto the male NPT fitting - sounds like that should be all good.
