Fuel Rail threaded nozzle size? NPT, AN?

[5ltretr]

anyone know the size and type of thread?

thanks!

It is an AN-4 male fitting on the fuel rail near the regulator. You will need a AN-4 female fitting for it. It is the same size as the old freon (R-12) hose fittings.

Did you try summit

Yes I want to adapt my little psi gauge to the "T" I got from John's. This way I can have the psi gauge and the schrader valve as well.

No one has a -4AN Female to 1/8" NPT Female.


Auto meter makes a shrader valve fitting to 1/8" NPT.

Basically you unscrew the schrader valve in the nozzle and screw in the new fitting.

I ordered it next day air should have it today or tomorrow .

Summit sell it for 15 bucks i think.

Do you have the part #?

A -4 an is the same size as a 1/4" flare fitting. Some hardware stores have good selection of flare to pipe adapters in brass but a female to female may be hard to find.

You can use a short (2") piece of 1/4" copper tubing and put a flare nut on each end to go from the rail to a flare tee if that's what you need, or flare nut on one end and a compression fitting on the other to go into a gauge. Just take the schrader valve core out of the rail.

If any of you boys have a Granberry store or something like that near you, they have the ultimate fitting your looking for. I just got back from getting mine, I had brass before like everyone says, you cant crank it down tight enough without jacking the threads up. So, anyway the fitting is a -4 or 1/4 JIC to a 1/8 NPT($3.12) and its steel!
I then have a 45 degree 1/8-1/8 female elbow that is between my rail and my guage....oh yeah make sure you get a water guage cause the regular guages mess up from the vibration of the engine....you probably know this
Hope this helps!

 

[5ltretr]

do they have an online store?

 

[nboost]

no not an online store but if you type in Granberry on google.com it will bring up Granberry supply corp. The contacts are on there and it appears that they're all on the west coast.....maybe you can order one and have it shipped?
i appoligize, didnt know they were only on the westcoast...

 

[5ltretr]

cool I will try them out if this autometer fitting doesnt work.

I have brass fittings that screw onto the end of the fuel line and have a 1/8" NPT male end on them.

$5 each plus shipping.

Summit sent me the wrong fitting

they sent me 1/16 Male to 1/8 female. This is for a ford fuel rail.

Whats the fastest way to get a fitting?
thanks

I think I found it at www.anplumbing.com

Let us know if you find the right part #!!!
(When I say "us" I really mean ME, but I don't want to isolate myself from the herd, strength in numbers and all that you know)

 

[5ltretr]

sure I will let you know rev.

I have to find some sort of adaptor , the fuel pressure sendor gets grounded by having a metal connection to the fuel rail.

Thanx!

Anybody come up w/a solution yet?
I found some adapters @ Jeg's website but they don't have a pic, so I don't know if they will fit. I assume that unless otherwise noted all fittings are male to male? (okay I can already hear the bad jokes)
I found a couple of parts that may or may not work (but I'm to cheap to order them until I know for sure):

#799-61440: 1/8 NPT female pipe coupler ($4.96)
turns the male end into female (will that help?)

#105-3275 (Auto Meter) 1/16 NPT male to 1/8 female ($7.99)
will this replace schrader valve or fit into open port on "T" fitting to accomodate the fp gauge?
