Thank you all , very precious and useful info. I ordered two senders from Carpenter.

Good evening gents , what are the 3 fittings that go into the selector valve please ? Thanks .

Not sure on exact thread but I have just rebuilt my valve placing modern o rings inside. The top fitting is 90 deg.

Thanks Richard . Could someone chime in and tell me the size of the fittings and type of thread please ?

Hi Robert,

I might be way off base but it looks very similar to a Ford CMP truck 3 way valve. Hopefully something that was standardized.

If similar size inlets, they are 1/8 NPT male to 1/4 SAE female inverted flare fittings. See attached photo. Note raised portion inside fitting which forms the seal with the double flare.

The trucks use 1/4" fuel lines and SAE male inverted flare fittings, same as the fittings on the brake lines. These brake and fuel line fittings are UNS Unified National Special and are 7/16” x 24 (parallel) threads per inch (A standard 7/16” UNF thread has only 20 threads per inch).
(Major diameter is 0.4364”) The fittings on the end of the tubing therefore are not NPT threads.

Not familiar with the fuel lines on a carrier but if it is 1/4" tubing the above sizes would be correct.

Hope this may be of some help.

Cheers,

Jacques, that is a little gem of a piece of info. On behalf of many of us, I say "Thank you" Sir.
