Ok now for the exciting stuff

has anyone used the quick push in couplings for their air lines?

which to get Stein Air's? , Spruce?? 

Also going to use the second pipe on the Zenith Pitot tube for AOA and putting in 2 fuse static ports

Chris,

 

 My DAR says he really prefers the push-on barbed connections for pitot and static.  Once on there, they will not come off.  They must be cut off and a new piece of tubing installed.  He says the compression type connections tend to leak and fail a pressure check.

Chris-

    If you're talking about the couplings shown on the HH DVDs, I never got 

an answer from Mark Townsend where he procured them, and I never saw them 

offered the last time I was at Oshkosh. Neat idea if you can find them.

                                                                             

    Bill

                                                do not archive

Jay-

     Interesting. Since I couldn't  find the "quick disconnect" couplings for sale, your suggestion is the route I  took. 

                                                                                          Bill

 It depends of the type line you run also. If you run rubber hose (like fuel  line) use clamps , if you run 1/4 inch nylon use compression, and if you use the  clear rubber you can use barbed fittings. We do a pitot static check of each  aircraft and most have leaks and we repair them with compression fittings and  nylon lines. If your brake lines don't leak then that's pretty good  evidence it works and works well.

I used the Safe Air quick connects that are now sold by Steinair.  I have not had the official static test done yet but from the testing I did they seal very well when using the nylon tube they sell for it

I've used the SafeAir fittings as well and have not had any problems 

with my Pitot Static tests. You can also purchase them from 

www.safeair1.com.

Thanks  Gang 



I was going to use the Safe air stuff but have just read it works only with their tubing.. Thats why I was looking at the Stein Air fittings. 



I have as l  have ready run the Zenith supplied 1/4 inch stuff, maybe the barbed T's and stuff are the way to go. where do we get them from Spruce?

The push in quick connects are made by SMC. The KV series. They also make

the tubing.

Read all about it. Get CAD drawings.

Pitot static plumbing in aircraft refers to the intricate network of tubes and sensors designed to measure air pressure for critical flight data, such as airspeed and altitude. This system includes both pitot tubes, which capture ram air pressure, and static ports, which sense ambient air pressure. Proper maintenance and calibration of these components are crucial for accurate readings, ensuring the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
