Had a coolant line blow out on the old Haas VF-2 this morning
It was a mess, spraying all over the part and the enclosure. I found a small crack in the plastic fitting near the pump. Anyone have a good source for those brass replacement fittings?

Sounds like my last attempt at plumbing.

Oh man, that sounds rough. My buddy had the exact same thing happen on his older Haas last year. It made a huge mess and ruined a whole batch of parts. He ended up getting a whole set of brass fittings from a local industrial supply place, not even a machine tool dealer. They had them on the shelf and it was way cheaper than he thought. He said swapping them out was pretty straightforward, just a pain to clean up all that coolant first.

Yeah but brass fittings can strip out real easy. I always go with stainless on high pressure lines. Lasts way longer.
