Help find a source for 1/4 inch straight pipe thread fitting
Hi all . I am finished installing my second gas tank in my MKII Carrier . I need this fitting . The threads are straight not tapered like in today’s cars and trucks . Went to the hardware store , NAPA store , truck repair shop and machine shop. Thanks for your insight guys. Cheers. Bob

Fitting
I am not familiar with carriers, but it looks like a standard compression fitting. If it has a ferrule it would be a compression fitting, if it has a flare it would be probably an SAE fitting. SAE is still used on oil burning furnaces.

I beleive you want these fittings. They are solder on pipe nipples with nuts.
I can’t remember if you need the 1/4” nipple for 1/4” BSP with 1/4” tube or 5/16” tube. The nipple and nut stay the same but the tube can be different sizes. https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/pr...nut-and-nipple I also used these fittings for hooking up the oil cooler lines. Although I think they were sized for 1/2” tube. Last piece of advice when making these lines up. Put the nut on with the female end facing towards the end. Then solder on the nipple. If you forget the nut it’s easier to fix then the flared fittings.

I think they are called Rotherham fittings? (read Rotheram)
I believe the Brits set their sizes by the pipe orifice size,(about volume of flow, cross sectional area etc) so for a pipe with a 1/4" bore the fittings will be designated 1/4" Someone can tell me if I am mis-leading? Edit: there does not seem to be any support for what I thought, from a quick google.

The tube is 5/16" from memory but easy to check so a solder nipple and a 1/4 BSP nut.
Available from here in UK https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/pr...nut-and-nipple or here. https://www.gsparkplug.com/fuel/copp...ose-connectors Ron
