    Mechanical Oil Gauge - where to buy bulk fittings?
    « on: April 03, 2011 - 09:02:36 PM »
    I don't have a ociture, but i need multiple pieces of the little coned barrel piece that slides over the copper tubing and crushes around the tube. I don't want to have to buy tubing and everything else each time i want to swap gauges.....

    Check home improvement centers. They should have compression ferrules in the plumbing dept.

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    There used to be a Weatherhead display in every parts/machine shop where you could buy those and all the other wee pieces you may want/need. :2cents:
