Hydraulic fittings supplier?
bigandy - 15/2/11 at 02:17 PM

Afternoon all,

Does anyone know of a Hydraulics type fittings supplier that doesn't mind taking orders for a couple of small parts? I'm after a couple of 1/8" BSPT male to 7/16" JIC male adapters (plated steel or brass). Apparently they are not very common, and the local suppliers near me won't order them in

Cheers

Just to be pedantic you are looking for JIC -4 (pronounced dash 4 )to give it the proper designation

Come on Whippy read the description properly!

I'll have a rumage at work but if we have anything it will probably be npt ?

I was refering to the T at the end of BSP your link was to BSPP fittings

Are you 100% sure you need 1/8" BSP? 1/8" BSP and NPT are extremly close, NPT is 27tpi and BSP is 28tpi

Had a rummage at work yesterday, wasn't entirely succesful although I did find enough adaptors to go from JIC -4 to 1/8" NPT (JIC-4 x 1/4"NPT nipple + 1/4"NPT barrell + 1/4" NPT x 1/8" NPT nipple) to total length 80mm

Sorry didn't have the right fitting but let me know if these are any help.

Regards
Davie

Thanks for looking Davie.

The fitting has to be a BSPT fitting, as it is going into a cast zinc housing on a pressure sensor, and the datasheet explicitly states that other fittings (especially BSPP, and NPT) fittings hsould not be used.

I think I've found a source from a supplier down south though, just waiting on a price from them

Cheers
