Thanks for the ideas and pictures.

I dug out my old Hudson sprayer that the spray valve quit working from the chemicals,and figured it was the prime donor for the project.

Bought some clear vinyl tubing and ditched the black hose as I like to see the fluid and any bubbles that are going through the line.

To control the flow I got a 3/8" 90 degree ball valve with compression fittings and a couple of brass ferrels to keep the line from collapsing even though it is pretty stiff already. I thought about having the straight valve, but think I like the 90 degree better.

In the picture you can see a couple of the ends that screw into the drive. The metal one was from an old pump the plastic one from a newer pump. The metal one bottoms out when screwing it in and thought about cutting about 3/16" off the end, but probably not necessary as it's going to be messy anyway.

I want to put a swivel in so the hose doesn't get all cork screwed when threading it into the drive.

Any suggestions?

Since there isn't much pressure, the barbed end of the fitting will spin in the hydraulic or gas line.

Do like the 90 ball valve

Have thought about finding a double block fitting (something like AG or skid steer) quick connects, so once its full, pop the connector off. This will make it easir to attach and detach

The vinyl tube and pinch clamp that cones with the metal fitting will let tube spin on the barbed part. Oil barbed part before you slip on tube and clamp. You may have to hold vinyl tube while you turn metal fitting for just a second.

Metal fitting way faster and less mess than the plastic one.

My newer style one above can come that way, but the way I use them and store them I see no benefit. I can see how they could for other people though.

I'm building one now also. I purchased this adapter from Amazon that has a swivel so it will rotate when you screw it in. (See picture).

For the sprayer, I discovered the 1 gal "Scotts" unit has a very small pickup tube, and the "Chapin" model 2000 1 gal unit had a much larger tube. So, I ordered the Chapin from Home Depot for $12.99 delivered. I don't know how they can afford to do that so cheap!

That tube came off on me and squirted oil all over the place and it what prompted me to make up a new one.

I just ordered this quick disconnect to hopefully make things easier and not need a swivel.

I think it will work fine but won't really know until I can give it a try,

Bummer, my 1st one, still in use with others, is near 18 yrs old. Maybe 16 ?

I have the opposite opinion. We’ve tried the metal fitting. It didn’t work as well. It doesn’t have the wings and the barbs make it nice as it just rotates in place. Don’t need fancy adapters, etc

I recently bought the motive lube pump. Has a valve stem in it so I can hit it with my mini Milwaukee compressor and not have to pump at all. Think it was $70 from Amazon
