Default Festo fitting

Hi, I'm looking for a Festo fitting. What I need is a 90 degree fitting where the threaded end is 4mm and the tubing end is 3mm. I have tried Dreamworks Model products but all they have is 3mm threaded with either 3/4 mm tube end.
I know I may have more help here than other forums as you jet folks use these fittings more than the other guys do. I'm going to replace a broken fitting on my 5 cylinder 215cc RCS 215 4 stroke. t is used for a air pulse from the crank case to the carb.
Can anyone direct me to a dealer that might have these fittings?.

Thanks for any help.

RC Showcase has none.I have already tried.

Are you sure the threaded end is 4mm (m4)? Looking through my Festo catalog, they dont list any fittings with an M4 thread. Only M3 (3mm) or M5 (5mm)!

I'll check it again in the morning. I too looked at the catalog and didn't find the size I need. It may be 5mm but it sure is not 3mm. I ordered a 3mm-4mm #QSML-M-3-4 and a QMSL-m-3-3 both from the Dreamworks web-site but just my luck both were wrong for my applacation. Now 'm out some bucks and have two parts I can't use. I will have to dis-mount the engine so I can get the carb off of it (carb is mounted directly on center of back of engine) So I will do that in the morning and see if I can get a 5mm tap in the hole. If it is 4mm threade end then I will have to order it via the engine maker as it would appear to be a custom made fitting.

I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks for your help

Hi, that is the shape of the part. I still need to get to the carb so I can be sure of the thread size. I do know that the hose size is not 4mm as I have a fitting with 4mm hose end. The hose is going to be 3mm I'm almost sure of that. I"ll let you know later today what thread size is. I thought it was 3mm at first as I was told by the folks at RC Showcase that it was. But they were wrong, the hose is 3mm but the thread is going to be either 4-5 mm.

Just call us for an RA number and you can return them for the correct size

Wow thanks Todd. I was the one that ordered the parts. Your people did nothing wrong. But I do thank you. I'll call after I figure out what the correct part is.
