I'm putting all new instruments in my LAK and am thinking about using Winters 5-way tubing quick connector. Wondering what the thoughts are on this connector. If you have this device, are you experiencing any leaks or other problems associated with it? Pro's Cons?

Thanks for your advice.

I've used them in glider since 1995 without a problem. Be careful that the set screw doesn't strip the plastic thread (the retaining screw). I remove my SZD-55 upper panel for each winter and occasional instrument changes without a problem. Very convenient. Agree with UH that you will have to trim once in a while for a good seal, and if you have a leak, it's the first place I'd look. I liked the 4-way Polish tubing connector (which screws together for a better seal) more but I needed 5-way (the other input of the electronic stall warning). Assuming a removable panel, I'd get the Winter again.
