Thread: Where to buy 4mm Schraeder quick fit

I don't KNOW if they have them, but close to you is Swanston Engineering on Lt Boundary Rd .. who may have something for you.

Otherwise search for a air equipment mob near you.
I have an Able Air 'round the corner from me. If I have the time I'll pop in and check what they have available. Being Easter tho .. I doubt they'll be open again till Tuesday.

Alternatively, you could order online, if you can't find anything locally in a shop.

Air Parts Australia (based in QLD)

From their online store, you would want two products they have listed.

Schrader valve 1/8 BSP female connector

and

4mm push fit 1/8 BSP male fitting

Where will you fit the schrader valve? With the product linked too above, you could mount it/them(if 2x) to the rear bar easily enough too.

I have Schraeder vavles on the rear bar that go the burst air helper springs. I want the 4mm to Schraeder connector as a back if the air lines etc die in the middle of nowhere.

I'll give the guys on Boundary Rd a call. Pirtek may have them.

Aha... do you know, or remember the fitting type on the rear of the schraders you already have? BSP, NPT, or parallel thread type? male or female?

See the second link for the various push connectors to suit.

What sems to be hard to find are female thread push fit fitting for 4mm hose size. 6mm and up, they're a lot more common(if you have male threaded valves on the rear bar).
But male to female thread adapters are easy enough to locate.

I was at Autobarn the other day in Altona (Millers Rd) and they had a half decent selection of what I needed(1/4BSP) adapters .. and got me out of trouble to get the D2 back on the road.
The Repco may also have some pipe thread adapters in stock too.

I'm currently looking at simple and cheap push connectors and Nitto connectors for the shed at the moment, so I can permanently connect air from one end of the shed to the other and also connect up the tyre inflator too.
Saves me having to constantly drag out the hose and then pack it away again .. so kind'a sort'a in the same boat as you.

The Schraeder valve is connected to 6mm hose with a very small clip, like a non threaded hose clamp. Ah, all I need is a 4mm to 6mm joiner!!!

I am slow today.

Pirtek etc will have them..

Why is there 6mm in the system?

Julian mentioned he had the schrader valves on the rear bar already for the 'helper air bags' ... so probably used 6mm tube for them.

6mm to 4mm converters seem to be dime a dozen(so to speak).
