Need a Coupler--suggestions
Decided to go with getting a pump. Have been shopping around for prices of things.
I don’t intend to go the traditional cheap route of buying a gravel filter for a fish tank, but I have found that I can save quite a bit of money by simply buying a quality pump (with a gauge on it, of course—and don’t forget the tubing!) and getting cylinders by themselves.
In fact, the pump looks to be used by a lot of the big name guys, albeit the obnoxious price markup.
Looking back on several older threads (by older, I mean years back), I’ve noticed many others have bought the same pump (and said the quality was good).
This is the pump & tubing:
Brake Bleeder and Vacuum Pump Kit
As for cylinders, I’m going to use the Jim Diamond ones, which seem to be pretty popular around this site:
Picture Brite Retail
I’d imagine the JD cylinders are pretty standard at the valve part.
What I need—or at least I believe I’ll need—is a coupler to link tubing from the pump to the valve.
I did find while searching old threads a coupler that was said to be exactly what one would need, but the product number for that site is no longer in existence. :(
I’m not exactly familiar with things, but I believe the proper term for what I am looking for is a "male quick disconnect coupler."
I’ve found an image of exactly what I believe I am looking for (attached).
I could buy that one, but it’s $8.50 online, nor does the site list the measurements.. And then shipping?!
Hopefully, someone has a good idea at knowing what measurements I’m looking for on the coupler, along with a proper name, model, and/product number.
McMaster sells a ton of different things, but I seem to be unable to find the one I would need. :/
