Wrapping up detachable 5th valve project
What a PITA. Anyone who says "slap a 5th valve on it", should have been in my workshop the last few days....

Re: Wrapping up detachable 5th valve project
Those are the same brace parts as the numbers I sent to you previously - the threaded part is for .750 ID tubing, and is the same as used on the Conn 52J detachable 5th valve:
TU0806601 - Male Fitting - on 6th Branch
TU0806602 - Valve Casing Threaded Fitting
TU0806603 - Locking Ring Coupling - on 6th Branch
Those three parts make up the entire union.
All of those parts are available directly from Conn-Selmer, and I think Allied, as well.
