So I know they make one, but I can not find the part #. Can anyone help me find a push lock fitting that fits the Aeromotive FPR vacuum reference port. As far as I know it is a 1/16" NPT thread in there.

I have searched and have either overlooked or can not find the part # for this fitting.



If someone has one they want to sell or can give me a part # I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to avoid drilling and tapping my FPR to 1/8" NPT.

 

I just checked their website and it says its an 1/8" NPT port on that regulator… if that pic is from your setup what is the issue?

 

The vacuum port is not 1/8" NPT. The port for the pressure gauge is 1/8" NPT. The vacuum port is 1/16" NPT.

Also, why would I post up a pic of my own setup then ask for the part # to a part that I would not need? That pic is from another site (yellowbullet). No one ever listed a part # or where they got the part in the thread where I found that pic. But after some help from a member over on there I think I found the correct part # for the part I would like to use. This listing is from McMaster Carr.

Here is what I found:


So for future reference for anyone that would like to use a push lock fitting in the boost reference port on their Aeromotive FPR the 1/16"NPT to 1/4" hose fitting listed here should probably work.

 

Lol sorry, I thought it was your pic and was incredibly confused as to what your issue was.

 

I have a bunch of 1/16th, and 1/8 npt 90's and straights that take 1/4" line.. Pm me if interested.. I can put together a kit of whatever configuration you want with polyurethane line and fire retardant sleeving for high heat areas.

 

I need a 90degree fitting on my fpr.

Link where to order from

 

Thanks man, and I will certainly keep you in mind, but I just ordered a couple from McMaster.

There you go man. At least I helped someone other than myself with this info. Check out the guy that posted in here, sounds like he has some better configurations and choices than what I listed.

 

Are the fittings that you got from mcmaster's all plastic or brass. I am looking to order some fittings from their website about I am not wanting the plastic fittings I want the brass one's what do you think about it?

 

The one that I got for the FPR is plastic. I have some brass fittings as well. In the past on a previous turbo setup I did not use the plastic near high heat areas.

I am not a fitting expert, there are some guys on here that actually deal with this stuff, such as the guy that posted in this thread. Send him a pm.

 

which guy are u talking about in this forum? I am trying to buy this stuff from mcmasters or pardiseracing.com

Where did your fittings from?

 

fuckenboostin posted above us. He said he has a bunch of that stuff.

Most of my fittings came from my taking them home from an old job of mine and people giving them to me. These new fittings I got from McMaster, which is why I posted up the image of their site with the part #.

 

takes about 1 min to drill and tap it to 1/8" ..... I didn't bother looking as it would be hard to get, when I did mine... make sure you take the top half off before, if you do decide to make it 1/8"....

 

Yeah, I know I could have drilled and tapped it. I did not want to do that hence the reason for searching for this part.

 

Yeah, +1 on the drill and tap for 1/8". Smaller and smaller you get the more fragile you get.

 

If I break it then I may drill it and tap it for 1/8' npt. Otherwise, this is what I am going with. I doubt I break any fittings on it.

 

i drilled mine

 

Just remove the top hat and drive and retap the fitting to 1/8npt done

 

Too late Jason. Already ordered a couple fittings. If that does not want to work out, then I have no problem drilling and tapping.

 

So where did all you guys get the fitrings from online.. is the mcmasters site.. it the fittings plastic or what? Cant tell from the pics? Where is a good site to get the sleeves to go over it as well?

Just trying to see where all to get my stuff online.. thats all..
