Source of small bronze bsp fittings

[Keith-i]

I'm looking for a mail order supplier of some small bronze plumbing fittings. I specifically need both 1/4" BSP and 1/4" NPT blanking plugs. Matching hose tails would also be useful. I can get the BSP hose tail from ASAP when they're back in stock but the others seem trickier. I'm really not keen on the idea of plain brass below the waterline but DZR would be acceptable. It's all connected with water feeds to my stern gland.

One helpful source might be E C Smith here < www.ecs-marine-equipment.co.uk/ >
The other place I'd try is ASAP Supplies here < http://www.asap-supplies.com/ >

They both have reputations for being helpful.

Edit: Just noticed you've already spoken with ASAP....

DZR was primarily developed for the plumbing industry. Any good plumbing supplier will stock them, e.g. http://www.plumbase.com/section2015/page1/compression-dzr

Thanks for the thoughts. The problem seems to be finding suppliers who do bits as small as 1/4". 1/2" or larger is easily come by in bronze or DZR. Scouring the net, the closest I have come is to a machining company in Ayrshire who will produce anything you want in bronze but I imagine there will be a minimum order.

Have you tried to find Marelon (or similar ones) no dezinctification or corrosion issues... ever.

I hadn't, but having now had a look at Marelon they don't go small enough either.

Not necessarily Marelon but pneumatic fittings are available down to your size and smaller, these are high pressure fittings and plenty robust enough.
