Milton air fittings deal on Amazon

[rvieceli]

For reasons that I can’t quite understand, Amazon has been running some unbelievable prices on some quality 1/4 inch NPT Milton air fittings.

The links below are for packs of 10. The first two are for the plugs both male and female HighFlo V style fittings. The other two are for couplers the plugs fit into. The couplers are universal type.

If you are converting a hose with ¼ inch NPT fittings you will typically need female versions of the plug and the coupler. If you are adding a coupler to a drop (black iron or rapid air type fitting) or a plug to a tool you will typically need a male version.

The plugs are usually in stock, the couplers go in and out of stock on a frequent basis so if you want some keep checking Amazon.

I believe those HighFlow fittings work with the couplers on the Vac Sys vacuum system.

Cheese, I believe you are correct but I don't have a vac sys to check them on.  [eek]

I believe that the universal couplers result in a slight loss in air flow on the V style plugs over actual V style coupler but I think the loss is less than 10%

Even better, the Male HIGHFLOW fittings were $1.48/10 until a few weeks ago, same as the Female, when they "jumped" to $3.69.

They've been priced that low since April, 2021.  [eek]

I've been looking to add some additional quick disconnects to my Vac Sys setup, so I may just need to grab a 10-pack and see what's what.

Received my Milton connectors yesterday...thanks Ron...and they do indeed fit the Vac Sys. The 2nd photo is the Festool foot valve connections.

BTW, when rvieceli posted this (or very close to it) the 743 Universal Coupler, 1/4" body; 1/4" FNPT  were out of stock.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QV3HHFH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?psc=1

As of this post they're out of stock again, but last night they were in stock. Keep checking on them. Now, it's the male version that's out of stock.

 

[rvieceli]

Yup they go in and out of stock frequently.

Currently the Female couples 743 are in stock and on sale for $10.  [eek] [eek]

But the males are out

Wow, those are some volatile prices and stock levels. I just saved $4 or so.

 

[rvieceli]

Was just informed that the $10 price is third party seller fulfilled by Amazon.

Amazon and Amazon pieces are still 14.18
