It did. Doesn't leak from the hole it leaks from the threads from the hose end, to the bulkhead. I'll grab a shot
I actually caulked in the bulkhead, so it can't leak through.

I would look at Banjo fitting, the are made in the US and I have never had any issues with them.

Ya I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. I got a cheap pack (bulk). So maybe the measurements are off a bit. Duno

I would think there should be a rubber compression washer inside your hose fitting that should compress against the bulkhead fitting to prevent leakage around the threads. When the hose fitting is tightened, it should compress the rubber washer and seal. But take care not to break the bulkhead fitting.

You are 100% correct, but it still leaks. Lol. I just tried tightening it with a wrench and it just keeps spinning. So the thread is fd, or too small or whatever. Will try a diff bulkhead or drain me thinks

Can anyone recommend a good 10 or 12 port manifold? Could I just build one out of 1/4 or 1/2 inch pvc?
