Smudger, that's the design. It has the gap for an O Ring to sit in as a type of seal / gasket.

It needs to be an exact match and there's nowt on ebay I've seen.

I was hoping for a direct link from someone that has bought the same.

It's from a Brodex tank.  Much as I like Brodex tanks / systems, they aren't the place to go for small fittings as I prefer to keep my arms and legs  :o

Nearest I got was an old Amazon link but it's no longer available.

Thanks anyway

Ian

Bloody well sick of looking around for bits and bobs!

Found the connector, though the manufacturer is advising a different fitting to one that looks identical to the ones I have. I now doubt the accuracy of the photo's on their site.  I'm now waiting to speak to him tomorrow.

I popped in to a few local suppliers today thinking I'd easily get a few metres length of hose to join the tanks.

I should have known better.

I'm looking for thick wall (3mm thick) clear PVC hose. Outside diameter 12mm, inside diamete 6mm.

Anyone have any ideas.

Nowt on ebay, none apparrantly with any of the large hose sellers. May have one possibility with Bearing Boys but have to check in the morning.    Any one know where I can find one for definite please let me know.


Thanks

I found that brodex get a lot of there stuff from circuit hydraulics, there based in southport and are on eBay. The guys name is Richard and he can get most parts, may be worth a look. I have a number if required.
