1/8 npt y adapter
 
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know a company that might stock this style y adapter? What I'm actually looking for is the single side being male 1/8th npt and on the y side it needs to be both female 1/8th npt.

I thought I could use this Edelbrock adapter and just take the male fittings out of the y side but Edelbrock has discontinued them and doesn't have any in stock.

I googled 1/8 npt y fitting and got several hits.

I googled the hell out of exactly what I'm looking for and only got the one for Edelbrock. Possible you could send me a couple links. Would be appreciated. :bowrofl:

Never bought anything from this company; but you could add a male 1/8xclose...or Farr :tiphat:

I got suckered. They were all 1/4" or for beer.
Sorry dude. I jumped when I should have looked.

Try JEGS. They have more stuff like this then Summit. I get all of my AN parts and braided lines from them.

jchammond 01-23-2020 09:59 PM

Also look underneath some brands like Parker, Imperial or Weatherhead :ugh2:
Lots more out there; may have to get hydraulic fittings instead of brass, as it would be steel :eek:

If you're looking to tap off the oil pressure sensor port, those adapters are prone to leaking due to the factory sensor being so heavy, I recommend doing a jumper line and a distribution block.

No luck on Jegs.

I found a couple of the Edelbrock ones on ebay but I had to message the sellers to make sure they stock them and not shipping from the manufacturer. Both sellers are automotive companies.

what are you using it for?

Martijn_b 01-24-2020 04:33 AM

Contact MA Motorsports, I'm quite sure they stock them

Even if you don’t purchase from Chins; don’t be surprised if it says China on the fitting when you get one :wtf2:

No doubt. I was hoping to not have to wait a month for delivery though. That's a last resort.

JARblue 01-24-2020 09:37 AM

I'm guessing you aren't using the stock lines if you're looking for NPT fittings? There are links in the DIY Oil Pressure Gauge thread:

http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ure-gauge.html
Here's the items it lists:
https://shop.hoseandfittings.com/cat...-02-02-02.html
3036-02-02 | Male BSPT x Female NPT Pipe Adapter

Rusty 01-24-2020 09:46 AM

When I get home. I'll post a link for the one I got. They still may have them.

Thanks to everyone for their help with this search. I called Drift HQ in Florida and spoke with Jo'el. I was on the phone with him for about a half hour while he searched all over for me. He then called Edelbrock and lo and behold, they had two in stock so he ordered one for me. What a super guy, he went out of his way to help me, I really appreciate his help, I'll be doing business with him in the future.

And even though I just bought one of their products (because I was so desperate), screw Edelbrock. They f'n lied to me. I called them yesterday and the sales guy I talked to said he verified they had none in stock. I guess they were saving what they had in stock for their vendors.
