Connector on feed line broke...

The connector on the feed line going to the bottle broke. I have a HSW plate kit with HSW bottle heater. I was tring to get the bottle heater power solenoid off and the connector broke. Will I be able to replace the connector or am I going to have to replace the whole feed line?

You can go to any Hydraulics supply house and have a new end put on, and it will be only a couple dollars. So yes you can have an end put on. The sponsors can all help in that regard also, though mail time sucks, lol.

Ugh, so that means either way I am going to have to pull the hose and then put it back in. All because of a damn leak. I wish people would seal threads!

There is a reuseable high pressure fitting for repairs in the field, but finding one or someone knowledgable enough to get you one may be hard. I had booked marked one I came across, but can't find it now. It mat have been shown or talked about here at tech? Maybe one of the vendors has em?
