Hello all,

I have been searching for a T fitting with the following configuration

#1 3/8npt
#2 -8 swivel as in position #4
#3 -8 male

Is such a thing available or do I just use a swivel union in position #2?

Thanks, Matthew

I believe it exists, but that's all I have to offer.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Looking through the Russell (Edelbrock) catalog and I’m not seeing it as a single fitting. Either a union like you said, or Russell part number 614308 and 614218 shruggy

Thank you, I have those already. Was hoping to use the least amount of fittings. So far no luck

Missed the female end on the T. No one makes one that I’m aware of. So you are looking for 3/8” pipe to -8 female and -8 male on the same fitting correct

You are correct. Hopefully not about the unavailable part though lol

If you're really adventurous, you could machine the threads off one side of the 925108 and thread it with a 3/8" NPT die.

That thought crossed my mind. Haven't measured the thread diameter to compare them. Also thought about welding two fittings together. Probably just get the union lol.
Wanted to reach out to the forum first and see if I'd overlooked something.
Appreciate all the help

A quick check with calipers shows the root diameter of the #8 thread and the diameter of a 3/8" pipe about the same at .667"-.669".

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

What about changing the fitting on whatever is posing the connection problem ?

I'm making a bypass around the mechanical fuel pump. The pump threads are 3/8npt.

Rethreading one of the -8 connections to 3/8npt seems like the best option so far. It still needs to be mocked up in the car and that may change things.
