You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I need two 1/2" NPT (male) to 3/4 Barb 90 degree fitting. I've searched everywhere, but can't find one. I can find them everywhere in the US but by the time they ship it here two fittings cost me $50-$90 dollars which is a little unreasonable.

Looking for Brass or Aluminum, no steel/plastic as it is threading into an aluminum tank.
Something like this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Give this place a call, they might have them.

looks promising...i'll give them a call tomorrow.
Just go to anywhere that sells Gates or Aeroquip fittings.
lol Oscar, you must be rich. $150 for 4 aeroquip fittings for my application was a little rich for my blood!
Sorry man thought you were looking for a hydraulic type. Fairview should be what your looking for.

Also Dixon Bayco might have what you're looking for.

Get me a part number for what your looking for and I'll get pricing from my dealers here.
Crazy found what I wanted in 10 seconds Tongue
Two of these: 139-12D
and 1 of these: 140-6C

Working on it.
you might wanna investigate some irrigation parts supply stores if you can't find it anywhere else. You tried Napa right?
Irrigation parts are typically plastic or steel, neither are ideal for automotive use. I tried NAPA/CDN Tire/Home Depot/Rona/Lowes/Specialty Plumbing Stores/Performance Improvements...

If I had boatloads of cash to blow I could spend $200 and get fittings that work, sadly I don't hence why I still drive a 2002 Focus Tongue

if you want I have a friend who could probably machine these for you I don't know how much he'd charge though nor do I know how fast his turn around time is. i'm assuming they'd be aluminum (billet??)

Acklands-Grainger sells Fairview fittings products and they have a location in Oshawa; 1129 Wentworth W.
Tried them before I left work, 2-4 week wait and $22/fitting, at this point I don't mind the $22 a fitting its the 2-4 week wait. I read posts in other forums of guys picking these up for a couple dollars at their local hardware store.

Of course this is in USA where they have a proper supply of products in stores.

If you can find a place in Niagara Falls that sells what you need I can pick them up for you next time I`m down there - probably Sat the 19th - or you can buy them online and send them to my N.Falls NY address; PM me either way if that helps.
Dude you shoulda called me!

Let me call my Dad at work today they should have what you need in stock...
Somehow this damn fitting can't be found easily. I'm going to order one from the great USA, but for now its done with some home fittings from homedepot/lowes.
Also got the VC powdercoated while they were recoating the tank...celphone pics make the colour look weird but its a nice gloss red.
