Looking for sources from exp builders
 

Hi I am working slowly on a 1/14 ish Cat 330b. I am looking for help finding the type of fittings you guys are using on your valve bodies to cyl etc. I am preferably looking for push to lock type, size and diameter tubing. I know the larger trucks use these type of fittings in the dash boards for air accessories, however the tubing they use is only rated for 150psi. I did find some similar types from us sellers, but the cost of shipping them north of the border was almost $30 for an envelope?
Appreciate any help offered.
Terry

I'm running 5/32 and 1/8 air fittings and hose on my models. I bought the parts at a local hydraulic shop. Standard thread and hose won't work with any of the valves, cylinders or pumps you can buy but if you build your own it's not a problem. I can't remember if you planned to make or buy the hydraulics? The air line I'm using has a burst strength of around 1200psi. I am running over 400psi in my excavator and have never blown a hose.

Thanks for your help guys, I am working on a four position rotary valve with the help of pictures posted by you RCP57 and others, I am considering a shot at a pump next. RC farmer, every time i try to access rcbrmin, I get red flags about the site.
