TESTs
IMPACT GUNS SPEEDS
4200rpm with I/M style and Automotive Style fittings
5700rpm with V-Style fittings
DIE GRINDER SPEEDS
3000-5000rpm increase with V-style(tested by ear as the speeds exceed my meters capacity)
SIZE FLOW
.031sq inches to flow air with I/M and Automive fittings
.040sq inches to flow air with hand DRILLED out I/M fittings
.071sq inches to flow air with V-Style fittings
Thoughts:
I feel like the tools are around all around 50% more powerful. Milton claim 70% more air flow and the math/dimensions seam to add up. I did tear down the couplers and they have far larger holes than a standard coupler as well. I opted not to buy the Harbor Freight Merlin High Flow, because upon closer inspection they seem very crappy(technical term) and in this case they were more ($10 for 4pcs) than the top of the line Milton($20 for 14pcs).
I have drilled out M fittings in the past but didn't feel any improvement as you can only go a tiny bit. I have also done the same inside the M coupler but you can't do much in those without compromising the integrity. The standard M fittings has a hole with the surface area of .031sqaure inches; where the V style are .071 square inches. Drilling may get you up to .040 but the V style still flows twice the air.

@chris092183 4 года назад

Miltons are the only brand I've used that don't leak or have excess play. Your filter on your compressor will catch some dirt and oil but will need to be downstream at least 50 ft to catch water. The air exiting the xompressor needs time to cool down which then condensate so the filter will not catch water. This doesn't matter too much if you're not painting but if you want really clean air running through your all your tools then you should relocate the filter and maybe think about a 3 stage. Thanks for the heads up on the v style. Your vids are always super informative!

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

For the most part here in Utah we have such low humidity it's not a major concern. But painting definitely needs a better dryer system than the tiny one I have.

@adollarshort1573 4 года назад

Thanks for great vid! I noticed your old "M" style plug seemed to work in the new "V" style socket. Conversely I have had instances where the "V" style plug will not even go into an "M" style socket. If you look carefully and measure, there IS a difference in the "V" and the "M" styles. I saw a vid by some guy that showed a dangerous situation with fittings blowing apart because these 2 slyles don't fit perfectly. Just eyeball them side by side. You can see the difference! Be careful mixing "V" and "M"!

@David-hm9ic 11 месяцев назад

When I was visiting a friend's street rod shop (shout out to Big Oak Garage) I noticed that even with air hoses everywhere there were no audible leaks. I asked and he said he used Milton. My Chinese connectors leak all the time even when new. Just got a new compressor and went with the Milton brass V couplers and steel plugs. If I gain some performance that's a bonus. Although I have a generous collection of air tools I mostly blow away chips/sawdust and drive small brads/nails. The main reason I went with the V system is the ease of connecting and disconnecting.

@guyina4x499 4 года назад

@JDLarge 4 года назад

I’ve seen people drill out the tool port itself to gain more power but this is such a simple solution. Although I’ve been getting away from air going to cordless, I still run a 60 gallon with a 21 reserve tank in line so for twenty bux to change over my shop, it’s done deal! Thanks for the heads up! Ginger should get a second chicken sangy based on that cuteness overload alone! 😍✌🏼

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

I have drilled them out in the past but didn't feel any improvement as you can only go a tiny bit. I have also done the same inside the coupler but you can't do much in those without compromising the integrity. The standard M fittings has a hole with the surface area of .031sqaure inches; where the V style are .071 square inches. Drilling may get you up to .040 but the V style still flows twice the air. I actually sold off my small 3/8 Snap ON and 1/2 Mid Size impact a few months ago as I replaced them with cordless. My biggest complaint with cordless is they do not feel as solid and vibrate, rattle all over the place to do the same job an air impact does with nice solid hits. Air is like riding in a Cadillac, the cordless is like riding in a covered wagon down a dirt road. Both do the same job, one just beats you up more. I'm keeping the 3/4 Ingersoll and won't replace it with cordless.

@JDLarge 4 года назад

sixtyfiveford: I don’t blame you one bit. That 3/4 is a beast and I love that 80 gallon endless supply tank you have too! I had an opportunity to get one of those for free a few years ago while I was hauling steel to a work shop they were renovating, but there was no way I could get that sucker off the trailer if they would’ve put it on with a forklift like they wanted to, oh well my loss. I kinda made up for it grabbing this 60gal Craftsman for pennies cause the owner said “it just stopped working” lol. A new ring kit and it’s building pressure like a champ so an $800 compressor for $40 works for me! Besides, I’m mainly keeping air these days for filling tires and blowing dust dirt and grime off of stuff but also for the wood shop for my brad, finish and framing nailer‘s because who the heck can afford to drop $400 for a new cordless nailer?! (I do have a pasload cordless 6v gas framer that I really like.) The newest dewalt and metabo/hitachi cordless nailers are really sweet too, meh, maybe someday... For now I have to do a complete accountability on all of my air tools so I can get a good count on what I need for connectors to include all the splice points and shut off’s everywhere in the shops and for the outside ports too. Last count was up to $60, but that’s still pretty cheap to ensure all that extra ooomph lol. Enjoy your day brother.✌🏼

Upon receiving the couplers, the absolute first thing I noticed was the huge holes! This was the first time seeing them and I do have to say that the airflow is great! Maybe not the full 70% that Milton claims but it's pretty close. I can most definitely tell the difference like you did when you go and use an older coupler. This "V style" purple colored high flow set is the way to go. You won't be disappointed. Many of us have purchased and love em!!!

@upnorth5465 5 месяцев назад

v style are a high maintenance option. The couplers constantly cook off and continuously blast air out until you replace them. They are also a royal pain to connect especially when you use them a bit. I used them for 3 years in my shop and finally had enough to switched to "P" Style fittings and couplers thru out the entire shop and they flow more than the v style and have never had one leak or wear out in over a year now. We run 160gallons of air at 180 psi unregulated for what its worth.

The V style seals around the outside of the fitting with an O-Ring where the M style uses a flat washer to seal the tip. I did test the RPM with my contact tachometer but it exceeded the max 20,000rpm my meter can read. It definitely moves faster by at least a few thousand rpms.

Alright, my question is do the hi flow fittings hold up as well as the OG fittings, I know the cheap aluminum hi flow fittings that come on an impact from the tool truck that come in all the fun colors brake in a week of use swap it to a Milton and you’re good for a decent amount of time.

@mrobvious1100 Год назад

So when using my 1200 ft lb impact gun I have to have high flow all the way from the tank to every fitting all the way to the tool.. I have a 3-way manifold connected to a regular low-flow connector at the tank and 350 ft sections of hose in the manifold everything is low-flow connector.. if I want to use one of the hoses strictly for my impact gun can I just put a high-flow male on one end and a high-flow quick connect on the other end and a high-flow mail in my impact gun? Or will the manifold and the low-flow Quick Connect that the manifold is plugged into at the tank reduce my air flow? I only use my gun when I rotate my tires or do my brakes I am no kind of mechanic.. no I do use my die grinder to sharpen my riding tractor blades

Lol! She just couldn't stand it, but give her credit, she did wait until you left... Great video and testing Moe, thank you! I like the better flow rate, but the thinner walls of the fittings worries me. I had a fitting break on me while under a car once and the hose end smacked me in the head, leaving a goose egg for a day or three. I'd be even more concerned about that happening again with thinner walled fittings. I think I'll stick with the old heavier walled fittings and just use my 3/8" hose hooked up direct with no couplings when I need the flow. Yours truly, Knothead... P.S. However, thinking about it some more, I bet they are made of better metal these days and you can't beat the price.

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

That doesn't sound fun. These purple ones are aluminum and though I don't think they would break they will likely ding/nick pretty easily. They do sell the same style in steel for higher strength.

@Anonymous-it5jw 4 года назад

If the restriction is at the tank end, the effect of the friction in the air flow through the length of the hose should have a greater effect on the tool end, even with the high flow fitting on the tool end.

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

True.

Been using the high flow fittings for such a long time that I can't remember what the normal fittings are like. Maybe I need to go back for a little bit to experience some disappointment that'll make the hi-flows seem even better

@ourkid2000 4 года назад

Hey Moe, I just recently bought that same set from Amazon. The female coupler didn't last for me. They're aluminum right? I think some of my tools have steel fittings that work with the V couplers but wear the couplers out more quickly. I also found that the coupler isn't rebuildable.....well I couldn't get it apart anyway to try to repair it.

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

They do sell all steel versions of this that would outlast these aluminum. I prefer brass and I'm sure they sell that as well. I took the couplers apart the first day I got them. They were tightly fastened but a 6 point socket on top and a wrench got them apart. These use a simple round oring for sealing to the male half of the coupler. Should be much easier to rebuild these with of the shelf orings vs the special flat washers in typical Milton M couplers.

Oh great something else to spend money on lol but looks well worth it and for $20 why not. Love the fact it can take an M style too

@Hobby_Electric 2 года назад

The Ting is you have still a big hose and the good fittings on your tank... inmagin the difference with all standart parts... I live in germany and have the standart NW 7,2... (7,2mm inside ) i dont know if it is compatibile but i reely would like to use them. Now i only have a big hose (12mm/ 1/2 inch inner diameter) connected to the 1/2 inch port to my compressor... and only that make a difference over 1 Bar at the end of the hose vs the 6mm hose.

@halfstep67 2 года назад

How have the aluminum plugs been holding up. I have read where some people have had problems with the aluminum plugs popping loose on their own. I have the high flow V-style myself but have the brass version.

@sixtyfiveford 2 года назад

The couplers have been holding up excellent with no leaking or wear whatsoever. A few of the air tools to have extreme vibration I noticed the fittings do have some wear. Like my air hammer for example the steel balls of the coupler start digging in to the retaining ring on the male fitting. I haven't had to change it out since I put it on but if I used the air hammer on a daily / weekly basis I would probably only get a few months. Things like my air check that I use on a daily basis show virtually no wear along with my die grinder etc all look great. The impact gun does show a little bit of wear and would likely only last a few months in a heavy shop environment. I definitely think brass is the way to go but I'm really impressed how will the aluminum ones are holding up.

@sethchyna 2 года назад

can you use the v's on a universal or m type

@spelunkerd Год назад

Oh no. First I'll change out the V fittings, then the compressor won't keep up, so I'll need an extra tank or maybe another compressor. Little projects like this have a way of escalating. I like the 1/4" style, so at least you can change out only those devices that need the extra flow. Going to 3/8 will likely work better but would need a broader switch. On the other hand, maybe one could use 3/8 for proximal line, then swap out a distal line with 1/4 V style fittings....

@j.wilson641 3 года назад

Nice!

@sixtyfiveford 3 года назад

These make a huge difference. The only downside I've found is the aluminum gets dinged up easier than brass/steel ones and will have a shorter life(only the male not the female). Though I haven't worn one out to the point of not sealing, they do make the V style in Brass or Steel and I'll probably buy some of those next time.

@cpcoark 4 года назад

Couple questions for you. Will the type V fittings fit into type M? you showed the Mfitting into the V. Also, Could you take the type M and drill it out to the same size as the V and get better performance than M? I ask because I just invested in a bunch of A-M-T fittings and I know air flow has caused some issues. Good for a followup video

@sixtyfiveford 4 года назад

The V will not fit into the M couplers. I have drilled them out in the past but didn't feel any improvement as you can only go a tiny bit. I have also done the same inside the coupler but you can't do much in those without compromising the integrity. The standard M fittings has a hole with the surface area of .031sqaure inches; where the V style are .071 square inches. Drilling may get you up to .040 but the V style still flows twice the air.

@BrewCityRider 2 года назад

Thanks for this...wow, yeah a noticeable speed and sound difference. Ok, but why not go right to a H style with the 3/8" body and 1/4" npt threads? Wouldn't that flow even better because not only is the opening larger, but the body as well. Anyway, that is what I am leaning towards doing. WYNNsky has a nice 9 piece kit for under 20 bucks. You could still use your low flow tools with M style couplers with this setup by adding a H plug to a M coupler in front of the line coupler. What do you think?

@sixtyfiveford 2 года назад

Milton says 74cfm max for V-Style and 67cfm max for H-Style. Compare that to IM at 40cfm or T at 40cfm as well. I bought some off brand V-Style from Amazon and they had a way smaller drilled hole in the fittings and the coupler was probably 1/2 the internal size holes as the genuine Milton.
