Hi All,

I have a concern about the larger line in the pic that goes into the accumulator. Even if I fully tighten and thread the fitting together, I am able to still pull the mating connection apart with my hands. Shouldn't the threaded coupling keep the line together tight enough so that I cannot pull it apart?

Yes, should not be play in the fitting, something is wrong. Cannot see photo because of PhotoSucket new policy.

There really isn't play in the connection - it will hold a vacuum...but I am just surprised that I can pull out the line going into the Accumulator - if I really want to...The nut that slides over the connection and threads into the Accumulator is over an inch wide - so its big..
