SuiteSuccess Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Where do most of you purchase your brass or nylon airline fittings online? I usually buy Parker or Eaton Lambert but lost the site I had bookmarked.

Parrformance Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Amazon has DOT approved fittings. I scored an entire box of miscellaneous DOT fittings from a tech at the nearby Volvo dealer, for$20. Some were new some were used. I rebuilt the used ones and keep them in the truck. Even used one of the new brass compression fittings that was in the box to fix a propane leak in the camper. If you do remove a compression fitting, don't throw it away, Amazon has a box of assorted brass ferrules for cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07XSB1W3M/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07XSB1W3Mp13NParams Edited December 15, 2020 by Parrformance Spelling correction Quote 2006 Volvo VNL 780, " Arvey" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2010 Forest River Coachman Freedom Express 280RLS Jackalopee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks should be aware airline ferrules have a ridge around the equator and aren’t the same as regular copper tubing ferrules. I had a good online source for fittings but can’t seem to find it again.

Darryl&Rita Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Get mine from the local Parker store, or online from Parker. Grainger sometimes has better pricing or delivery. Amazon has been hit/miss as far as authentic DOT fittings, to the point of shipping fittings with no markings at all. Sent back.

Moresmoke Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Local KW dealer’s prices beat anything I have found online. Haven’t wanted anything they didn’t have in stock yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaHybrid Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Carl, AFP INDUSTRIES INC200-b Perimeter Park RdKnoxville, TN 37922United States They should have your Parker fittings and are close to you. If you are near my area, SOUTHERN FLUID POWER4816 Bonny Oaks DriveChattanooga, TN 37416United States should have what you need. I like their composite fittings instead of all brass but each to their own.

When it comes to fittings, there is a local parts store for big trucks in town. There prices are better then any site online. This is where I go to get my fittings.

Stay safe my friend, Al Al, We’re fine. This is a funny disease. My sister is 8 years younger than me and healthy. We spent the afternoon and had dinner with them on Sunday and she was fine. Called me Monday afternoon at campground in town said she had 103* fever, headache, body aches. Hit her suddenly. Tested positive for Covid. We immediately went into quarantine and prepared to head back to Tennessee which we did. We remained symptom free for the two weeks. In the meantime Donna’s mom passed away two days after us leaving. She at least got to touch and hug her in hospice prior to our exposure. The nursing home where she was had been locked down for six months. My sister became very ill requiring hospitalization with viral pneumonia and treatment with Remdesivir, antibiotics, steroids, and convalescent plasma just to barely keep her off a ventilator. She is slowly recovering but is now almost six weeks out with some continuing shortness of breath and extreme exhaustion. Again this is the real deal. Once you’re on a vent, survival goes way down. Thank God for a vaccine. We will be first in line when available for our age group.

Scrap Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Phillips has started to make small qty packages of the good PTC fittings. I think they also have assembled kits and things too, if that strikes your fancy. You can order them anywhere they sell Phillips - KW dealer, Napa, online, etc - but not at a Parker store since they are competitors.
