Where can I get this fitting?

It's a rectus 26 fitting with a screw bolt on the end....

I just can't get it to stop leaking!I've replaced the rubber washer and even smeared a load of plumbers sealant on the thread!still no joy...

It's really starting to pee me off now....I'm losing around 50l of water overnight all over my van floor...?

Cheers in advance guys

As on the other forum a hydrolock specialist , but to be honest there are a lot better fittings out there for  that job ,I wouldn’t want tk be relying on a fibre washer with 80 + degree water every day , that looks a bit like a pressure washer Flexi joint

As an 11yr hydraulic & pneumatic engineer, id say thats 100% a Hydraulic m/f block elbow 3/8 bsp possibley 1/4. Fitted onto that is a rectus fitting.

Your if your leaking from behind the rectus fitting you need to fit dowty seals on the male thread before putting the rectus fitting on there, id say you need 3 possible 4 dowty seals.

Part of the issue is youve got a nickle plated brass rectus fitting screwed onto a steel fitting.

Buy a brass 90degree m/f elbow that will help

Did you not google swivel fitting? You need to spend some time and start learning part names and suppliers or you'll come unstuck 

Looks like a JIC Hydraulic swivel

It's not as easy as that....there is a million different fittings,sizes,etc...its mind boggling...its NOT a JIC hydraulic swivel by the way.....

No dowty seals are needed mate....its been leak free for 4 years....its this little rubber washer that's perished and so should be an easy fix!

Screwfix do a bix of metric and a box of imperial orings think they are about £12 and you get about 10 of each, its a bit overkill but handy to have

Cheers lads...all sorted now...grippa got back to me this morning...I'm replacing the stainless steel elbow,complete with double valved Pro 26 fitting and rubber seal....it should arrive by tomorrow evening...

I might have a leak free van by Friday!

One things for sure I'll be ordering a spare after this nightmare!?
