*****Moved from General Discussion Forum*****Anyone know where to find these air line fittings??

Hello AGN'ers!

I have been searching to find a vendor that sells these depicted fittings.

Near as I can tell, the left fitting has a 1/8" BSP, parallel thread that encapsulates the small 'barrel' looking part that is apparently swaged or crimped onto the 1/8" O.D. tubing (likely requiring a specialized tool?). Then is has a black-colored spacer with a 1/8" O-Ring to make it airtight.
It connects to the fitting on the right; the Female threads appear to match the 1/8" BSP parallel threads but are 1/4" MIP on the far-right side. The interior on the BSP side has a small recess for the O-Ring to sit in.
All is of stainless-steel material and is for HPA. The thumbnail picture can be enlarged if clicked on.
It's a complicated bit of kit!

Anyone....anyone....Bueller....anyone???

Thanks!!

Mike

Hmmm....guess that no one here has ever seen anything like this, just like me, I'm stumped!
Thanks for the looks anyway!

I have a hard time believing that those are unique fittings. Perhaps they are from a pneumatic control circuit from the aircraft or aerospace industry, or industrial machinery.

Your last pic look like the inside of a Shoebox compressor. If it is you can try these guys. I'll keep looking.

Mike!
You are correct, and I have bought extra tubing and fittings from OCO Labs. Problem is that they were EXTREMELY expensive, so I am on the hunt for the same parts to direct buy.
Thank you for the suggestion and sharp eye!

I believe that you are correct, but trying to find something without knowing the name is next to impossible. I come from a plumbing trade background and have been exposed to (what I thought) many types of fittings and how they are assembled. I have NEVER seen anything like these parts, similar but not the same.
Thanks to you for your suggestions!

Maybe Tom Kaye himself would tell us. Anybody know him well enough to ask? I’ve never met him, but I think a few here know him.

Alan!

While that is a great idea, it's my belief that since OCO Labs is making similar compressors for medical applications, they are in business to make money.
Selling these parts is something that I think they want to do. Problem is they cost a LOT for Shoebox users to purchase.
Been there.
Although not out of the question if someone is friends with Mr. Kaye to ask, but I don't think that it's likely to come to fruition.
