Where to find a special adapter?

cedricverdier · July 29th, 2006, 04:05 AM

Hi all,

I'm looking for a small adapter:

Female 3/8" - Female 9/16" (or female 1/4"NPTM, or female 1/8"NPTM)

So far, no way to find it.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Hello Cedric!!

Have you looked at http://www.mj-engineering.com/ as they have a nice selection of metal bits. May have to combine a couple things to find what you are looking for, as female 3/8's to female 9/16 sounds a little strange. Off the top of my head I would say the ADT-2001A 9/16's female to 1/8NPT male, then a 1/8NPTF to 1/4NPTF coupling, then a1/4NPTM to 3/8 female reducing bushing. Maybe talk with a Parker store to have them make you a short section of hose with fittings on each end that you want.

What are you up to?? Secret Meg to RB-80 conversion process??

Cheers!!

The 9/16" (HP port threads right?) seems very specific to the scuba industry. This place http://www.mcmaster.com/ has just about every fitting known, but they don't have anything in 9/16" SAE straight.

IMHO, your best option is to have a machine shop make you one.

a few years back this place advertised in the diver magazines - although of late, they've slipped off the radar.

They're slogan used to read something like 'if we can't make it - then you don't need it' or something like that.

give them a ring and hopefully they'll help you out.

cheers
