Broken wireless (AI) transmitters

This may work.

Is a spool needed; and, if so, why?
Wouldn't the transmitter just screw into the female end of the high pressure hose?
That may be a stupid question...feel free to educate me on the need for, or benefit of, a spool in this application.

If you are putting the transmitter on the end of a hose you need the spool for it to seal properly or you will have a major air leak.

Thank you. I guess I assumed that it would have an o ring.

*edited to add - I see now...when I looked it up earlier, I was envisioning a bigger piece - something that went between the hose and transmitter (same size) , as opposed to inside the connection.

There are three main types of Air Spool fitted to SPG's...
Usually the brass-and-glass housing type use a flanged spool vs PC/ABS plastic housing which use a non-flanged spool (two variants). All use a AS568-003 90 Duro o-ring
