LF 3/8" MPT - 1/4" MFL fittings

Post by RubberToe » Tue Mar 11, 2014 5:11 pm

Hi all, I'm on the lookout for two 3/8" MPT to 1/4" MFL adapters for my hop randall. Either stainless or brass. Home Depot has a lot of fittings like this but not this one. Any leads? I don't think I've seen flare fittings at Crane either.

You can have my Randall if you want it. Probably more fun to make your own though.

Thanks for the offer but I did make one. :spilly:

I'm just changing up the fittings so I can swap it out easier using flare / barb swivel adapters on the lines.

On a related note, fresh pineapple on sale for 97 cents each at Gateway meats in Dartmouth. Going to put the APA through it this weekend probably.

Those are used a lot for hydraulics and HVAC, might find some around the city. I'll ask our HVAC guy tomorrow. Keep in mind, those fittings come with different angle on the flare.

I happen to have one of those to connect my lines when I remove the randall from the system. I'm actually using it on my Hefeweizen with now for a super long line serving at high pressure to keep the CO2 volumes up.

The beer flare fittings are usually 37deg from what I recall. How many do you need, i'll have a look around.
