Arb hose coupler, quick disconnect, leaking at QD

[FinnCustomKnives]

Anyone else have an issue with their arb hose coupler leaking? It 100% is leaking for the QD point, not from any threads. It looks as if the oring inside is sitting deep in its groove, maybe too deep.

FYI I am using a US industrial standard plug, not automotive, fitting on my hose. TIA!

Update:
Took the coupler apart, cleaned and rebuilt it. I think when it was assembled someone pinched an oring or over tightened something, or something along those lines. Who knows?! After cleaning and reassembling it works like a charm. Only leaks if the plug is pushed off enter with some force, which is fairly normal or at least acceptable for my use case.

I 100% DO NOT recommend you do this unless you are fully aware of how a qd fitting works. That is unless you enjoy 6 tiny little ball bearings finding their way into the blackhole of your shop/garage.

@FinnCustomKnives I'm facing the same problem. Took the coupler apart and now I can't put it back together. I can't get the top bronze ring insert in place with those 6 ball bearings in place. Can you please share what is the correct way to put it together?
Will appreciate the feedback.

mine does the same annoying thing. What ive found is if i hook the air hose up, let it build pressure in the hose it usually stops. that or sometimes have to rotate the hose while hooked to the coupler. glad its not just me lol
