Favorite manifold gauge couplings

[msrichmond]

My new Four Seasons 39199 gauge set came with a bad coupling, so I ran out and got a set from HF. Other than the fact that the set from HF works, it is clearly made less robustly.

If I wanted to replace the couplings on my Four Seasons setup, do you have a favorite brand/style of coupling?

(p.s. I waited too long before using it - 120 days and then you are SOL).

I would not pursue this idea, you will end up with leaks.
Unless you’re doing AC on a regular basis, you don’t need a better set, IMO
Please recall that those of us on the board avoid the company you bought the MGS from. Everything today is made in China, even the air you breathe. The quality is ALWAYS an issue.
So the hunt is on for the least crappily made product, knowing that perfection is no longer possible, IMO
