where can I get a 1/8" "T" fitting

[andrew phillips]

I need to Tee into my 1/8 tygon line which currently goes from the firewall to the manifold pressure sensor. I need to send manifold pressure to my Lightspeed ignition. It seems that a 1/8" barbed "T" would be the easiest way to go but I can't find one. Any ideas? or alternate hook up suggestions?

Thanks

mcmaster.com has exactly what you're looking for... search for "barbed tube tee"

I had the exact same issue. Running Tygon 1/4" ID from my MP bulkhead fitting. I need to reduce to 1/8" for LSE and I also needed 3/16 for my engine monitor (EI).

US Plastics has reducer fittings, Tygon tubing and lots other stuff.

I think it was Gil that gave me the idea to check these guys out.

NAPA or any auto parts store. Good luck.

You could also use push-in fittings to connect your tubing.



- This as a "T" and a straight one at the EFIS -



These can come from STC valve.... just got some from them, and they are helpful and have no minimum purchase.

The two shown above are $1.96 and $1.11 each for 1/4 O.D. tubing.

Many sizes are available, but I presume your 1/8 ID Tygon is 1/4 O.D.

The push-in feature will make things much easier if you have to remove the EFIS at any time in the future....

gil A - no connection to STC, but nice to find someone who will deal with small orders.

ADDED - following comments in above post #3....

Gil did more digging since the US Plastics link.... and I have recieved parts (with very quick service) from STC...
