Title: Broke my DI Vessel Connector!!
Post by: russ_clark on January 30, 2008, 06:38:43 pm

Yep today I managed to snap the connector at the top of the DI Vessel
(where you connect the hoselocks each end)
Tried to superglue it to keep me going
That didn't last long
Went to my local DIY place and bought a couple of orange hozelock versions
ptfe taped one in and it worked but does not sit as proud as the broken black one.
I am sure they are cheap as chips but I don't know what they are called.
Any ideas and where can I get a few spares??
Cheers Russ

Its not brass mate
Its the black plastic piece
There are two of them on each vessel
They come already screwed into the top.
one inlet (from tank) one outlet (to pump)
