Carburetor Elbow Screen Fitting - Cheapest Place to Buy?

RTR · May 18, 2020

I m looking for some of the fittings as pictured for zenith and marvel carburetors. These are used on many IH tractors and others. I m looking for the most reasonable price because I need 40-50 of them and at $18 a piece (on this site) that gets expensive Fast for a small fitting. They offer a similar fitting for flared connections for less than $5 , but I want the style that is pictured (compression fitting). I wanted to ask here to see if any of you had found any at a reasonable price.

(quoted from post at 22:44:53 05/18/20) I m looking for some of the fittings as pictured for zenith and marvel carburetors. These are used on many IH tractors and others. I m looking for the most reasonable price because I need 40-50 of them and at $18 a piece (on this site) that gets expensive Fast for a small fitting. They offer a similar fitting for flared connections for less than $5 , but I want the style that is pictured (compression fitting).

The specs on that fitting are:

1/8" NPT X 1/4" internal compression elbow strainer (for 1/4" fuel line)

That might be money well spent, the screen looks like a special small mesh, and appears brazed into place, with the end brazed shut.

What filtering task needs that many. Filtering with a single modest cost filter then dividing the lines might be cheaper.
Those filters are troublesome in that they are kind of a hidden filter that is easily plugged up. Jim

Those filters are not supposed to get dirty. There are in the fuel line as a last line of defence after all the other filter(s) and just prior to the carb.

can look later and see if they carry the compression type .

volume discount?

There's gotta be a good story as to why you need so many ..... but I suspect it's a secret and you aren't about to tell us why.

I have several carburetors that are missing them and like to keep things "factory" so you don t have to run around trying to find different parts to make things hook up.

If you want that same fitting pictured (with the compression parts included), $18 each from this site is $10 (or more) less then other sources.

At less than 5 each you may make a few cents. Or offer them with or without (with plus 20% over your cost. Jim
