    Looking for some help finding this fitting. If anyone knows where I could get one, please let me know.

    Description: 1/8″ male npt x 1/8″ female npt swivel fitting.

    Hoping the IDO crew can come to the rescue

    My guess it is off of a grease gun. Check fleet farm in the farm department. I might be way off but that sure is what it looks like to me.

    Fastenal has a similar part. Part # 420013-131280 you can go to there website to confirm it’s what you want and your local store could order it in for you.

    McMaster Carr has ALMOST everything.

    Kinda looks like a grease gun nozzle. Or the 1/8 npt-m x 1/8 npt-f swivel pretty much explains it.

    It is not from a grease gun. Basically it is a hydrualic swivel without any flats on it for tightening it down. We use it in a testing application. I’ve looked everywhere one of them. A few places come close, but never have found an exact match. I have no idea where the retired guy I replaced got his hands on it.

    The male end looks like it might have a brake line flare type sealing surface, but it’s hard to see from the pic.

    Central Hydraulics, Custom Hose, Pirtek, Grainger?

    One of those posts I know nothing about..In my opinion, it looks like it belongs in a museum

    I would think Parker or someone would have to have this. It looks really malleable … is it lead ?

    Try Pirtek. They’ll show up on site and get you what you need.

    Not sure if you need it to be without flats or not but if its simply a swivel, any of the companies listed above would probably have what you need.

    Where are you located?
    What pressure are you testing at?
    Why do you need a new one? Is it leaking? If so, it may be as simple as replacing an o-ring.

    If possible, it may be worth changing the mating components so you can use something easier to find.
