    Looking for a 1/8" bsp one way foster connection

    Hi all.

    I'm looking for a male foster connector. Most seem to be 28mm long. Ideally I'm looking for something about 22mm. I can find them at about that length in 8mm,but not 1/8". Can anyone point me in the right direction?.

    Thanks

    Rob

    Nope. It's the smaller foster filler.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the replies. I've tried best fittings, no luck. Looks like I'll have to get one modified.

    Cheers

    I'm a bit confused where the 8mm comes in best fittings have 1/8" bsp foster both male & female In both plug & socket.

    Are you trying to fit something like a fill valve upgrade to the end of a hose?

    Sorry, I've probably explained badly. I want a 1/8bsp forster one way. All of the ones I've found are 28mm length. I'd like one at about 22mm total length, as I need it for clearance. I found one at the correct length, but it was 8mm not 1/8 bsp.
    I did buy one of the 1/8 best fittings one, but it is also 28mm.

    The link you posted is the 8mm one I found...right length, unfortunately wrong thread size.

    Click on the fourth box along, it says 1/8 BSP.

    Edit: where it says "color".

    Where are you measuring to/from ? You say the 8mm thread one is the right length but I can't see the length mentioned ??

    Best fittings 03C2-ML01 stainless HP fill valve 1/8bsp appears to be what you want & I'm tempted to say they will all be the same length because the valve & spring inside will be what determines the length.

    One thread type might have more length inside whatever it fits to, compared to another.

    I wanted the overall length to be 22mm. There is another seller who has the dimension on for the different valves. The 8mm one you pictured has the length at 21.5mm.

    I have bought a CF bottle for my Priest, and the priest valve that is fitted as standard is a different thread (not 18x1.5). I've bought a new reg assembley, but the valve protrudes too far to allow the bottle to screw on, hence the search for a shorter unit. At the very worst I can remove the valve from my other bottle, but at the moment I'd prefer not to.
