Trouble Finding Fittings
I never thought this would be a problem, but I can't find any tee fittings to run my pressure gauges!
I'm using 3/8" air line to the bags and planned on using 1/8" line for the gauges. The best I could find was at Suicide Doors. They have a 1/2" x 1/8" union tee. My bags are all single port, so I can't use them to run the lines to. What the hell am going to do!!!???

I found a way to do this. I picked up some 3/8" x 3/8" x 1/4" compression tees. The 1/4" port is just a hair larger than 1/8" pipe thread. I re-threaded the 1/4" port and used 1/4" NPT-1/8" compression fittings, the kind used for oil pressure gauges. The new threads are perfect. I would still like to know how others connect their gauges to their systems. |

Re: Trouble Finding Fittings
you can use what is posted above or you can drill and tap your T fittings and put in a 1/8" line fitting into the T

Re: Trouble Finding Fittings
I usually drill and tap but your local Parker Hanefin dealer as all kinds of stuff. Look for parker under hydraulic supplies in the yellow pages.

Re: Trouble Finding Fittings
I carry these... Easy street Tee
 The picture doesn't show it but they come tapped with 1/8 thread for the gauge fitting. They run $9.80 each and you will need some 1/8 PTC elbow or straights
