I just used a 1/4" quick connect fitting and a pipe nut, two washers, and a whole lotta marine sealant. It pumps up to 60psi no problem.
Hey Greg, any chance you could post a pic of that quick conector?

Hey Guys here are some pics of my air valve set up. Using a setup like this you can really crank the valve tight. I don't hear any leaks at 60 psi and I have used the press 3 times with this new setup. I used a plumbers goop to seal everything really good.
The setup:
Test fitting:
All done with Goop:
Here are a few pics of the old valves. Check out the O-rings. That is the source of the problem for sure. The new setup works way better.
