New fuel and pneumatic connectors and valves
Dear all.
I would like to let you know that we are now offering our professional quality push-to-connect fittings, adapters and ball valves to the hobby market.
These are made by a Japanese company called Pisco.
These fittings are of the absolute best standards.
We have had to change our previous supplier of already excellent fittings to comply to some UAV requirements and MIL specs that were not met with the previous product.
Anyway, we have been impressed by the quality of Pisco products and have bought stock items by the thousands for our production line.
This allows us to offer pricing 20% to 50% below our competition.
Just check this out under pneumatic and fuel hardware.
https://www.ultimate-jets.net/collections/fuel-hardware
https://www.ultimate-jets.net/collec...matic-hardware
We have most useful items in stock at the present time: straight fittings, Tees, Wyes, adapters, mini ball valves, mini pressure gauges.
We are also able to get more types and sizes on request if you do not find what you need in the store.
Regarding fuel systems, we are now offering our super high quality/ super light weight PU fuel tubes in 4 mm ID and 5 mm ID. The 5 mm ID size fits the 6 mm OD Pisco fittings and is very practical for fast and neat fuel systems. The 6 mm OD tubing is abut 20% lighter than Tygon 3/16" ID, however it is a bit stiffer.

On another note, we now have the absolute best pneumatic electric valves in stock: The German Orbit valves from Evojets.
These are available as single action ( with pulsating mode ), Dual action for brakes ( pressure regulating valve ) and dual action for gear. The build quality of these valves is outstanding and they come in either standard flow 3 mm fitting, improved flow 1/8" fitting, or high flow 4 mm fitting.

Interesting. However, I am curious to know why you consider Pisco better than Festo, ( as used on the Evo jet valve) and on so many fine engines including the RR, AMT.
Having noted your prices though, they do seem excellent value, an order will follow when I am next in US !

I am just explaining why we had to change brand.
My military customers required Pisco for MIl-STD-810-501, 502 and 503 compliance.
The previous brand that we were using ( not Festo by the way ) was not certified to these standards by this customer.
That does not mean that other brands are not suitable for the task. They are just not certified according to these standards.

Although you did say
which, whether intentional or not, did suggest that you thought Pisco fittings were better than Festo.
These fittings are of the absolute best standards and far outperforms most other product, including German brands.

Here is a new device that I have been working on for quite a bit of time.
This air fill terminal is part of our Cloudtech line of ultra-light custom designed accessories.
It comes at a record weight of 25 grs / 0.88 oz per unit. Size: 40 mm x 19 mm x 35 mm, 1-1/2 x 3/4" x 1-5/8".
https://www.ultimate-jets.net/collec...-fill-terminal
The terminal body is made of an AL-6061 block that is CNC machined as much as possible to reduce its weight drastically.A set of Pisco gauge ( PSI or MPA ) and one way valve push-to-connect fitting is located at the top, while another Push-to-connect fitting at the bottom allows to plug the line going to your tank and system. The one way fitting is practical ad allows to connect a bare tube into the terminal. It retains pressure up to 170 PSI/ 12 bars.
The Pisco connectors can be specified in 4 mm, 3 mm or 1/8" size.
The terminal is designed to be stackable and to screw into others to create a panel of as many devices as you wish!

I would love nothing more than to never use another barbed connection again in a fuel or air system, and having valves and gauges with push fittings available makes it that much closer to reality.
One suggestion Oli, on your website you should break some items out into their own listings - for example I didn't see an elbow fitting that was threaded on one end with a PISCO connector on the other, such as I would want to use for a fuel cell vent. But when I clicked on the "Pisco Hiflow series push-to-thread fitting," which has an image of a straight connector, I did see the elbow in the dropdown of various sizes. Just seems like you would benefit from having the elbows as their own item from the thumbnail index.
Looks great though, makes me wish I had seen this thread the first time it came around!

Note that I will release an article very soon about our new line of dedicated accessories for push-to-conenct fuel systems.
Super easy to plumb, super safe, 20% lighter.
This is under our new range of Cloudtech accessories...
This is the end of the barbed fitting...

Oli, did not think I would here you say the 'end of the barb fitting' - very bold statement and not something I'm fully with you on - but hey agreeing all the time is just plain boring!
Good work though and fantastic to see you bringing new product to the market, unfortunately my life is just too busy right now with my main job to even fly let alone design and manufacture.

My Feedback: (20)
Oli,
I have never used push fittings on the suction side oh my pump for fear of allowing air in because of a leaking push to connect fitting. Barbs don’t leak. Are you saying now that these push fittings dont leak. I agree it is much easier for maintaince with push fittings from vent to pump but is it worth the risk of air leaks?
Thx, Gary

These push-to-connect fittings are actually designed for vacuum systems. They are certified up to 29 InHg of vacuum. The best air trap on the market ( Large CAT air trap ) will cavitate at 19 InHg. So air bubbles will not come from the fitting!
What is also important is to use a tube that is properly calibrated and of the proper stiffness. If the tube is too narrow or if the wall is too soft, vacuum might create a leak.
This is why we sell high quality tubing for our systems.
Here is a link to an article I wrote many years ago and that I updated recently.

Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your work! Hope to see you at Jet Power in September!
