Air Venturi foster fitting accessory ?
- Thread starter stony30

Probably wont find it anywhere locally. BSPP is not common in America. Best order these foster fittings or adapters from a reputable source due to high pressure. You also need a Dowty seal. They are not tapered pipe threads. Mac 1 sells some fittings. http://www.mac1airgunshop.com/co2-hpa-parts-s/1837.htm

Pyramyidair has them. You will have to call and ask for them unfortunately. I was looking for some last week. Please encourage them to make these a stock item we can order from website. If enough of us ask maybe they will stock them.

Where can I buy that ? Do you have a link ? That item from Pyramydair that I showed is like $20 plus another $7 or so for cheapie shipping. I don't mind spending the cash when necessary but I don't like being "violated!"

Does this look like the right connector I need ?
You are looking for a 1/8 NPT male to 1/8 BSPP male adaptor. The one above is 1/8 NPT male to 1/8 NPT male so it does not work. Just being curious, why do you need to buy the adaptor ? most shops are selling the foster connector and the adaptor as a single unit.

So I need that one part I circled. Is that 1/8npt male to 1/8 npt male or that 1/8 npt male to 1/8 bsp ??

It's 1/8npt male to 1/8 bsp. Why order a pricey difficult to find adapter instead of following Eaglebeak's suggestion and buy the fitting with the adapter built in already? One less joint to leak and it's cheaper than the adapter alone. Plus you'll need a dowty seal between the Foster fitting and this adapter for an air seal. If you need a 1/8 bsp thread on your Foster BenGunn's 1/8 npt fitting link won't work for you. Another solution would be to just buy another microbore fill hose that doesn't terminate in a female bsp fitting as you have. You can buy an entire 36" microbore hose with Foster quick disconnect from Aliexpress for under $12 shipped which is cheaper than that adapter alone.

You are about to enter the world of "this don't fit that" I've got whips and fittings, and adapters, on and on. Sometimes what you order isn't exactly what you get either. Such confusion.

Beware AliExpress, get references before you part with money. By the time you have paid and waited for weeks and nothing turns up how do you get your money back? They always claim its lost in the post!

I've ordered many many times from Ebay and Aliexpress. The trade off using Aliexpress is obviously longer shipping times considering the distance involved. Many of the things I've ordered through Aliexpress have expedited shipping at no extra charge and I've received some orders in less than 2 weeks. They are very responsive to the and provide tracking information on all shipments. For the amount of savings on accessories it is well worth the risk. Out of the 20 plus orders I've made through them I've had zero losses. If someone is impatient and unwilling to wait 30 days for a $2.50 part they can pay $20 for it and get it in a week from a U.S. vendor. I find Aliexpress to be as reliable as Amazon or Ebay.

I agree with Humdinger. I was a little apprehensive at first about Aliexpress. I started with just Dollar and dime items to dip my toes in the water. Now after dozens of successful transactions, I'm confident in their process. I have had a few wrongly advertised or defective products from eBay but I negotiated a partial or full refund each time. I have never had an order that has failed to arrive. A lot of the stuff that I buy is just not available in this country and if it is, it usually costs more than ten times more than the Chinese alternative. And then there's the shipping, which is usually free. I always try to find the item I want on eBay first but if I can get a better deal on Aliexpress, I'll use them.

With AliExpress we have had a number of items received that were not as described. Stainless not stainless, high pressure not high pressure. Have you ever tried to return something to China. They dont want a return because they have to pay a tariff! I agree if you find what you need then order it but don't expect Amazon or Ebay services (not that they are great)
