Re: Male to Male unions
try the bay area.
all joking aside, that's not the standard on an XJ (double invert flare, i.e. a female thread with the male flare shown above down inside it, plus a male threaded flare nut that goes on the tube) or much of anything else, which is why you're going to have trouble finding it. I can't even find em on Summit
Here's the standard stuff, AZ/NAPA/CAP all have em in-store:

Re: Male to Male unions
Any speed shop or fluid power shop should have them. I know that both Earl's and Russel makes them, although I usually end up going to Royal Brass (local Parker-Hannifin dealer.) Why? I prefer forged steel over anodised aluminum alloy...

Re: Male to Male unions
Are you trying to tell me there's only female on female unions????
Don't get me wrong I definitely like that kind of union but my problem is my stainless line is female on both sides and one side has to go to a T block that's female on all sides.

Re: Male to Male unions
Thanks 5-90 I know this kind of thing is really hit or miss Hell I did a lot of missing just trying to find normal flare nuts. I guess I'll make some calls but they might hang up if I ask for male unions.

Re: Male to Male unions
I had a joke about them not being legal in most states but ill just keep it as im def. not the first to the punch.
I think i had to order more than i needed to get them last time if i can find them in the mess i call a garage ill mail em to ya .
i think i got them from Earls , or airridefittings.com , or jegs
Also a local hot rod shop might have them one here actually has there own brand of fittings and will cut ones for you if they dont have what you want. (i guess alot like Earls)

Re: Male to Male unions
Try your local propane dealer....that looks like something they would use to join copper pipe together.

Re: Male to Male unions
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Nope
3/16 is pretty small for propane line I'd think. I don't know if they use double flare or the angle they use, would have to ask hank.

Re: Male to Male unions
we have a full rack of weatherhead fittings, I can see how a store who doesn't sell much of them would avoid ordering it though - some of them can get pretty pricey.

Re: Male to Male unions
I went to the new NAPA in town. The guy was a complete douche and they didn't have it. Not going there again. He kept bitching because I "didn't bring a sample" even though I had all of the measurements. Basically he was being a vagina because he didn't want to look.

Re: Male to Male unions
How the hell were you supposed to bring a sample if you can't find one?
I usually make them tell me where they keep them and look myself...

I went with him to look but he hung around. I don't look trust worthy in my
sweater :eyes:
I guess I could of drawn him a picture but I draw like a 5 year old.
