Um, I would have to disagree. Most of the failures, air leaks, that I have seen, come from damaged internals, not a gasket. I have not seen a method to take them apart, and why bother, they are inexpensive.
The universal female connectors do fail faster, but definitely easier to use with any male fitting.
