i'm going to be using push lock fittings and hard line for my Vac hoses i was wondering what size fitting do i use on my tial WG and BOV the size is very similar to the 1/8 NPT but i was'nt sure if i could use that or do i need a certain metric size

 

they do make metric 10x1.0 if im not mistaken, but 1/8npt works just great.

also there was a thread a while back that stated the all steel bodied ones tend to lose their "grip unlike the plastic ones. I think a few people mentioned that.

 

tial uses a metric 10mmx1.0 but 1/8npt will work just fine and will not damage the wg.

 

In the RV industry we use brass push locks with locktite for all our air ride systems. work very well and very reliable. we get ours from A-1 fittings.

 

If you use pipe thread fittings make sure you do not over tighten them.

 

what size line are you guys usually use? 6mm id or is it bigger/smaller than that.

 

Hit up jos from tempest he has made a kit with all the right parts. I just got mine if from his and it is awesome takes the guess work out of this push lock fitting thing. You know his work so why won't they for you.

 

i'm gonna use 1/4 hose and teh fittings are cheap like $2 each for 90' and prolly cheaper for straights

 

just be sure to get the higher heat resistant hose, i think mcmaster has some that goes up to 180*

 

there's a place here in Milford,CT that has them and they r cheap no more than a dollar a piece the name of the place is (www.Preferred products design. com) check them out.

 

Take the guess work out of it!

 

so are the plastic fittings that much better i bought a few brass ones already but i'll just eat the $20 and buy plastics ones if there that much better

 

another option would be FCS inc.

they have a complete kit to plumm your twin gates, bov, boost solenoid, vaccum reference, and boost ref. all in one kit. they only use d.o.t approved air brake line from the fittings to the firestone 1/4 air brake line. also offer a nomex fire sleeve to cover the lines high temp areas.


also carry brass i you like


FCS inc has been making a dual wg kit for a bit now.

for more info please email them.

is that the stiffer version or rubber like material?

 

x2 ive got them for joe for alot of cars, never had any problems, using them on my car almost 50lbs of boost and no problems

 

50lbs? oooooh man

 

said almost :p

 

Hah I knew it! Gonna pick up one of these on my next trip to Tempest, alot easier to work with than braided line everywhere (and cheaper too).

 

By the way Joe nice label!

 

Someone Pm me looking for this kit. I want to have everything needed to run it. Thanks in advance.

 

+1 I want a set of these much easier to buy a "kit" than piece it all together myself.

 

its not that hard to piece it together, figure out where you need y's, t's, straights, 45's, and 90's...

at work we have noticed that the brass ones get some "play" in them and kinda loose their grip on the hose

 

If you're ballin out of control, check out Legris for full stainless. I may be able to afford one of them if I'm lucky haha

 

push locks are great our air ride systems/air brakes on the RV's at 120-135 psi no leaks and they see 100x more mileage than our cars

 

what's the fitting size that comes w/ the tempest kit? are they the 10mm x 1.00 thread? or the sae standard 1/8 npt's.
