Trying to find Male Coupler

Post by bbqwtf »

Last week I decided to upgrade from pumping using a jar and manual suction to an actual dedicated tube. I purchased a MT and a brake bleeder last week, but I eventually figured out that I was missing one more piece that was supposed to connect to the female coupler on the tube. It looks like this:

I purchased it from the site but I'm afraid it won't be here by Friday (the day I was planning to try the new tube out). Are there any stores where I can buy the plug such as Home Depot or Lowes if it doesn't arrive by Friday afternoon?

Thanks for the help.

That fitting is a specialty item for commercial use. If there is a supplier that handles pipe and fittings for the pharmaceutical or cleanroom industry you could pick one up there.

Meanwhile, you can slip an open vac tube into the tube alongside your package for suction until the fitting arrives. The fitting installed on the MT will not let air in until you insert the correct quick connect coupling, so ignore it until then.
