Questions on needed fittings?

[rayroz]

Im in the market to add one of these filters to my av 4500 compressor .
My question is about the fittings , i would like to not use the included hoses . What size foster fittings do i need to get ? Are they 10 mm screw on female to standard female foster fittings ??? Thanks Ray

There's a special connection for hose to filter, kind of a "ball in socket," with an outer threaded ring for securing. The one threaded end is 10mm which threads directly into Yong Heng. I used a double ended male foster (pictured) to attach female ends to

the provided Yong Heng hose/filter assembly. WM

Good luck nailing down Foster fitting sizes. There are 1/8" & 1/4" NPT. There are BSPP, 10mm, some that require two o-rings (typically a brass base and common in Asia), as well as those with a SS base and only requiring one 0-ring.

\And then there are those that are swaged directly to the hose and cannot be changed. PITA, IMO.

Good luck trying to sort it all out.

The 10mm threaded end was exact replacement for OEM Yong Heng part, even utilizing same Delrin washer for sealing. The "ball and socket" arrangement always seem to be slow leaking, causing some owners to strip out threaded rings by overtightening. Haven't figured how to stop slow leaks but compressor easily fills despite, so learned to live with it. WM

The water coalescing filter is tops for removing bulk moisture, I follow-up with an M50 filter as a finishing touch. After two years I pulled hoses from water-coalescing filter and found entrance "ball and socket" rusty and corroded, exit one like brand new, good evidence it works. WM

Quick, rough measurement of exposed fitting thread 9.8mm while 9.2mm for exposed thread @ Yong Heng.
