Default Push-in connectors and flexible tubing

Many builders use push-in quick connectors and flexible tubing for their pitot/static systems.

You can probably find a local industrial supplier that stocks them (e.g., Grainger in the US), but I get mine from Steinair:

Default Re.

Usually the pitot/static fittings are from SMC. FESTo is at least the same quality. Only take care to use tubing and fittings in inches and NPT. In Europe is not easy to get, but is mandatory to use with aeronautical instruments. Not the same 1/4" and 6 mm and the difference could be leaks ind system.

SMC was the right clue!

Their inch- parts are available in Europe too (FESTO not).

Thank's guys!
