Looking for right angle 3/8BSPP to 6MM
As seen in this picture but all metal if possible. This one is on my car now and is leaking. Of course its the pressure side of the pump. You can see the air in the line. I looked around on howertonengineering didn't see it. I suppose I could look through SMCs catalog and find it.

The AEM fitting is extremely restrictive, not good for the suction side of the pump. Richard

so that swivel is 1/8 BSP on both sides? I would need a pump inlet adapter as well ? http://www.aquamist-direct.com/806-5...utlet-adaptor/ AEM fitting? You referring to my filter? Sad to say that the Aquamist filter isn't very good and over time it leaks. I have a metal tank that I don't want to drill to install your intake filter. Always a hassle trying to get it to seal. I wish Aquamist would make a filter like AEM has. PnP no nonsense. |

I have not heard once anyone reporting a leak on the in-tank filter. If the hole is not perfectly smooth, it will leak but it is not our fault. Yes, you do need two 3/8 BSP to 1/8 BSP female and two 90-deg. fitting. All push-on fittings will leak in time. This applies to the AEM filter if they supply push-on fittings on their filter. Have you tried this one? It is a compression type fitting.

I'll also need two 6mm to 1/8 BSP compression fittings as well ? That aquamist filter you referenced is the one I dot have much luck with. The internal plastic Orings crack and it leaks. Already tried a few and gave up. Last edited by blk01s4; 20-07-2015 at 07:56 PM. |

The internal o-ring is made of nylon, Majority of fishing lines are made with nylon. I cannot see how it can crack. Have tried to break them with you hands? They win every time. So you can continue to use the AEM filter with 1/4" push-on fittings. The aquamist 90-degree fitting+1/8BSP/6mm compression fitting might work. May need to drill the collar entry hole to 1/4" to accept the imperial hose. By no means this is a recommendation from me so if it doesn't work. Don't blame me. What kind of restriction are you referring to? Please explain.

As for the restriction question I edited that from my post because I was reading that the pump uses a 1/8 BSP to 6mm hose adapter anyways. Dumb question sorry. |

Re: Looking for right angle 3/8BSPP to 6MM
Gorilla hands or not, a 6 mm line will not fit into a 1/4" push fitting without the risk of leaking in the future.
If you are not prepare to use all aquamist supplied fitting with the kit, I cannot see how I can help you. It is not that difficult to drill a hole on sheet metal. I rather you not making remarks on our components without mentioning there are many size-mis-matches on your set up with third party imperial fittings. "All" push-fit fittings will leak, depending on when. The AEM filter uses push-fit fittings. I will repeat, the AEM filter is a very restrictive, not recommended for the suction side of the pump.

There are mismatched sizes. Thanks for your help Richard.

Re: Looking for right angle 3/8BSPP to 6MM
Hi Richard reporting in. New swivel fittings are in they are a very nice piece! I am running a dual nozzle setup, .9 and a 1.0 not seeing any flow problems from the pump with that AEM filter installed. Has Aquamist done performance tests on the filter itself ?
