Accucraft union cones (gas line, tank to gas jet) sizes and suppliers please!

[brianthesnail96]

Does anyone know? The system by which union cones are measured is a mystery to me. I'd like them by Saturday preferably for a running day planned on Sunday so any help would be much appreciated! I need to repair the damage done to my dissertation.

Alternatively, if anyone has a pair they could pop in the post in exchange for a pint of beer, it'd be very welcome...

Cheers folks!

Iam Pearce is in China Matt, I know 'cos I'm waiting for a water sight glass fort my Countess. You could try Mike at chuffed 2 bits, he's very helpful when it comes to little things like this. http://www.chuffed2bits.com/

 

[brianthesnail96]

I've already tried Ian (via John at Track- Shack, who has been extremely helpful).

I shall try chuffed 2 bits though- ta for the heads- up James!

http://www.steamfittings.co.uk/ < Link To www.steamfittings.co.uk has a handy selection. I too am mystified by this subject. I think Accucraft use 1/8 inch pipe.

 

[brianthesnail96]

Not seen that before Rosco- looks a handy source. I've sent off an email to chuffed2bits so we'll see what happens.

Sorted thanks to chuffed2bits- ta for the suggestion James, and a big thanks to Mike @ chuffed2bits who went out of his way to be helpful- definitely a recommended supplier!

Hello, Matt

I'd like to wish you all the very best with your soon-to-be-submitted dissertation. Our two children completed their own successfully in recent years and I'm no stranger to the process from both sides personally.

It seems there's always something that needs finessing or some missing piece of evidence! I'm sure you'll do extremely well - good luck!

Kind regards

Alec

Oops, I've just re- read my first post- I meant repair the damage done to the engine during the dissertation, not to the dissertation itself... That actually was handed in a while ago, but thankyou for the good wishes. Think it went OK, playing the waiting game now.

Matt,
Accucraft pipe size is 3mm the union nuts are 5mm by 0.5mm pitch thread.

Gordon.

 

[brianthesnail96]

Thanks Gordon! All sorted now, but doubtless will be handy for future reference... I'm good at breaking things!

Hello Rob

Just to remind you that as an Accuraft service agent I stock these. Remember these are what we talked about when you wanted a replacement pipe making.

Best

OK Mike, understood...

Only I haven't got my pipe.

Do you stock the under floor drain fitting?
With one of those and a boiler banjo fitting, I could probably add my own pipe, bent to suit.

Hello Rob

Give me the details of the pipe you want, length and end type.

Under floor drain is not an ex stock item, but have to be made by me.

If you can be specific about what you want and provide me with domensions I can make it.

If the pipe is for a Lawley or Edrig/Ragleth I have these power units in stock here and can copy whichever one you need.
