just wondering where all you guys get the push/pull style vaccum lines and fittings. also, what size thread pitch is on a fpr? is it m5? thanks a lot

I belive its the same lines the truckers use for the brakes and air ride system......

check out local hydraulic line shops or mcmastercarr

usually everything is 1/8 npt, you can get those pushloc fittings at mcmaster along with many online hardware places like that.

most fpr are 1/16 npt thread, or others drill and tap it out to 1/8th npt

redboost10

my magnafuel was 1/8 npt and i used to have a aeromotive that was 1/8 npt as well, sorry i just figured they were all the same.

T4eg

no problem, all the aeromotives ive used have been 1/16th. Didnt mean anything by quoting you

redboost10

not offended at all. thats weird though.

AdamB18C1EK

my aeromotive FPR is also 1/16th kinda a pain in the *** finding the fitting to fit it. but they do make them. ill never use hose/hose clamps again

ExVtec

Wondering as well. Any direct links?

MrParks

something like this?

we just tap our fpr to 1/8 npt or go 1/16 push lock for it.

fumatch

.adam.

this has probably been covered, but what are you guys doing with the 10x1.0 on the tial stuff? just threading 1/8npt in?

0BoostedJeff

1/8 will work, but they do make 10x1.0 stuff as well

AdamB18C1EK

i didnt even know it was a differant thread...i just figured it was like compression fittings. oops......but yeah they thread right in. the line is 1/4 DOT air brake line (mine at least)

boostedcivicsir

fastenall? or airbrake stuff?

Squigglez

surprisingly I have found that the plastic fittings hold up much better than the full metal bodies, the full metal bodies seem to become loose after a while and create pretty bad boost leaks.

MrParks

yes it is. dot push lock ss fittings. the 1/4 air brake line is dot as well.

i use the legris stuff,got it from a fastnal store had everything in stock..all 1/8npt for everything even the tial they will thread in an get tight to seal.

DaveF

drill and tap the aeromotive regulator to 1/8npt.

I use Parker Prestolok and Festo fittings just because that is what I use on the pneumatics for our laboratory systems and I have gobs of them laying around. You should be able to find a Parker store or dealer around you somewhere. If not, any shop local to you that sells Vibrant should be able to get fittings through them.

One other thing...most places sell polyethylene tubing which is good to 180 degrees...you can get polypropylene for the same money and it is rated from 200-230 depending on the brand.

Really?
I just ordered all metal bodied units
How long was before you noticed this? Was it pretty evident?
Shawn R has the metal ones on his car and he had no issues, which is why I went with metal.

we noticed that in the food production plant i work at too. they go through everything in the off season and it seems like the metal ones lose the "grip" on the tube and feel sloppy. but remember were running these machines 24/7 for about 6 to 8 months straight
