I am getting an online order together for some hoses and fittings...I usually like to order a few extra relative fitting to have on hand...
I am fond of ordering hoses with just straight male pipe ends and use mechanical (swivel) fittings where they connect to a cylinder, valve etc...
I was shocked to see the price difference between a 1/2" male pipe to 1/2" female swivel ($2.27) and a 1/2" female swivel to 1/2" female swivel ($27.62)...
