Default Bulk Head fittings??????

I did a search on the web, but can't seam to find any metal Bulk head fittings??? I need a brass one with 3/4" NPT inside threads??? anyone have a link where to get one? I can find plastic ones real easy, but no metal ones. The local plumbing shop only has them up to 1/2" NPT inside threads.
Thanks.

I expect you tried West and Boat US. You might try Eddie or Rex and here is a link to McMaster-Carr that has about anything I have needed plumbing wise. They have on-line ordering and ship next day(when ordering at night) from Northern Ohio.

You might also try Hydraulic Supply/Aeroquip. They have a distribution facility in Fort Lauderdale near Doller Marine on SW 4th. Avenue. If they have what you need, I'll be happy to pick it up and ship it to you if they won't.

I know of aluminum, stainless and steel bulk head fittings. But no brass ones. Good luck.

Aluminum, or S.S. would work also, just no metal ones, they rust. They have to be true bulk head fittings, not just threw fittings. Bulk head fittings have NPT threads on the inside diameter of the fitting. No luck yet. I know they exist!!!
Going to try searching for Bung fittings now.
thanks

Here is a picture of one. Note the NPT pipe threads on the inside of the fitting. This one has 1/2" NPT and I need one with 3/4" NPT.

Kanookstr,

Here is a link to a company that specializes in stainless components for the liquid flow industry.

Try their site and see if they have what you need.
