Brass water pump fitting?

Does any one know where I can buy a brass water pump fitting like in the picture?

This fitting is for a ¾” heater hose to ½” pipe threads in the top of the water pump. Dorman sells this in steel under part # 56360 but they don’t list it in brass.

I haven't seen them in brass but Spectre makes them in stainless steel. I think I got mine from Summit.

Only place I could find one like that last year was from Ebay - all the parts stores just had steel ones. Mine has a barbed end on it instead of that smooth one. It works fine.

Re: Brass water pump fitting?

Thanks for the replies.

So far I found two different brands on ebay but both only sell in packs of five for $18.00 up. There was one guy that would sell just one for over $50.00. LOL

Imperial Brass 92085

Brass Fittings 809J

How come you need Brass? I have one laying around that's OEM cast.

I don’t like to use parts that can rust if I have a better option.

Re: Brass water pump fitting?

Jake thanks for the link but I need a ¾ inch barb.

I give up and will just reuse the old steel fitting.

Re: Brass water pump fitting?

find a hyd hose shop and tell them what size thread you want you can get it in brass but it will probably have barbs on it which will secure the hose better any way.
