Two fitting questions

Post by Luca Aldridge »

Hi,
I’ve got an odd sized fitting on a valve and cannot find it anywhere on the internet. It’s not ANSI, ASA, or ISO-F.

Also, does anyone know what these are called? It says ISO 25 on it.

second pic is early foreline stuff from multiple vendors. i'm conversant with these from Edwards. very simple with standard O-rings on the removeable short piece of pipe. Most of the foreline valves using this system will now have had the rubber gasket / operating piece go hard

Hi John
Thanks, none of my O rings are hard at the moment.
Do you know what they are called? I need to get an adapter from KF to that.

Thanks for that, I can save $60 on an inlet adapter now.
