Our old core shooter blew a hydraulic line right at shift change yesterday.

It was the main feed line to the ram, so we lost all pressure. Had to shut down Bay 2 for four hours while we found a replacement and bled the system. Anyone know a good source for Parker fittings that doesn't take three days to ship?

Classic timing, right when the day shift could blame it on the night crew.

Ever try Grainger? They had a fitting overnighted to us last month.

Heard about a buddy at a plastics plant who had a similar blowout on a Friday afternoon. They called a local industrial supply house that stays open late for emergencies. The guy actually drove the fitting over himself to get them running for the weekend shift. Might be worth checking if you have a place like that nearby.
