The connector bit from the air compressor to the airline I use to inflate my turnovers?

**dirk diggler** · 14-11-2023, 01:21 PM

Could easy be. But what would you write down if you were to order one?

Hydraulic hose fitting but I would also have to specify which metal and what thread types and sizes

**dirk diggler** · 14-11-2023, 02:23 PM

I’ll settle for thread specs and size.

I was thinking the hydraulic fitting that connects the brake system on a car to the hose on that connects to the brake line.

My fitting is a 1/4" JIC Male X 1/4" NPT Male crossover.

are you sure it is not BSPT ? archaic fitting like that is probably a medieval pommy size

**dirk diggler** · 15-11-2023, 05:41 AM

This one is made in Thaiwan.

BSP should be shut down for creating the tapered BSPT by the way.

have you ever made off a flared copper or aluminium connection of the type required for that fitting ?

I have only ever installed compression fittings , but have come across many of your type of fitting on vendor gear

You've also compress fit ring pieces on ladyboys cock

To be honest, it was the only grease pump we could get our hands on from the yard as we have a WOM Valve that's a bitch to open and close in a hurry.

The hose whip it came with was JIC so we had to convert. I generally avoid aluminium and copper connections due to low pressure ratings and trust issues.

Anyway, there's a different problem with the valve so I fucked off the pump in the end and used the rig's as it's not up to spec for the weight of the grease we have.

**dirk diggler** · 15-11-2023, 09:09 AM

We use compression fitting on tubing, control lines and hydraulic units. Normally 1/4".

Bigger stuff is normally on Pneumatic units.
