Auxiliary take off fittings

[Monkeybusiness]

I've always went by the body size, what I would class standard 1/2" body and 1/2" thread etc, I ordered a load of flowfit last year, 1/2"-1/2" and 3/4" - 3/4". what came was 1/2" body 3/8 thread. Thought a s**t, my mistake.... not to worry il still use them.
went back on line and made sure to order what I wanted..... only for the same thing to happen again called them up and explained the crack and they told me what I got was correct?

Now I know my fittings, and they weren't! asked a load of other guys what they would call them and all said the same..... so haven't bought any of flowfit again

Flowfit website can be a pain as they group stuff together - you can end up thinking you’ve ordered a certain size fitting but the drop-down you simply assumed was the size on the screen you are looking at can be a totally different size of the same fitting. Don’t ask me how I found that out…..

have had the same issues with them .... have to use the DN numbers to get the right sizes ..... and then there's their sizing for dust covers don't ask ... got some monsters here that weren't worth the cost of sending back

Flowfit couplings are utter dogshit no matter what size they call them.

Holmbury or go home.

@Dr pecker ….

was a real bummer when the Holmbury lad, who was selling direct from them, stopped ... I had a load of stuff off him, while the going was good ... he'd been given the job of unloading surplus stock

I don't think there is one good supplier, one stop shop kinda thing. we've been using hydrastore quite a bit for hydraulic parts but recently I called up wanting a 1-1/2" BSP inline filter housing and they took three days to get back to me with a tank top return filter . Got one from Whitehouse products next day, simples.
Not always the case but it can pay to shop around
