I'm installing a Matco parking brake valve in my -8A. To redo the brake plumbing, I ordered AN816-4-4D Nipples, AN822-4-4D Elbows, and Weatherhead 3400X4 brass elbow fitting from ACS - expecting to get 1/4" material. The invoice swhows that's what was ordered.
I thought I was getting 1/4" pipe threads on all. However, in all cases, what I received were fittings with a 1/4" flare end, but the pipe ends were all 3/8". For the Weatherhead both the hole and the male end were 3/8".
ACS customer service has been responsive, but we're trying to figure out what happened.
Do any of the viewers have words of wisdom concerning AN/Weatherhead fittings? Did I order the wrong stuff? What are the odds that all 3 fitting types were pulled incorrectly from the ACS bins?
So much for completing the parking brake valve this weekend.
