Hi!

I'm looking for a fitting like this one, but with the following changes:

Fitting by comiquaze, on Flickr

The female fitting in pipe thread 1/4 on the bottom, and 1/2 pipe thread male on the right side. It's a #10 fitting.

Any ideas?

:roll:

You said 1/2" pipe, do you mean 3/8" pipe? That's a bit different. What does it fit on and what connects to it? The engine fuel pump on the Harvard?

I've never seen one like you are describing.

If you have the room you could use an AN917 female pipe tee and add some AN911 nipples. You might have to go to 1/2" pipe and use an AN912 bushing to get to the 1/4" female pipe.

The run is the straight part and the branch is the single leg.

You want to end up with 1/2" male pipe on both ends of the run and a 1/4" female pipe on the branch?

The left side stays as it is, the right side swaps place with the underside.

Apparently my mechanic found what he was looking for, but I'm keeping it up here for conversation purposes.
