zodiac fc 470 hose barb to speed tube search

[dfern]

Does anyone know where I can purchase this hose barb that threads into the main tube and connects to the 5/8" hose to speed tube? (Part of the assembly that transfers air btw. the two) Hopefully online but I'm in south Mississippi.



2003 Zodiac FC470 made in Spain. There's a minor air leak at the threads. no luck with teflon tape. The o ring seems in good shape but the base(flange?) is flared out and threads beat up some. I'm determined to hold pressure for 24hrs + and this is the only spot preventing it at this point.

Thanks for the help.

I've also thought about plugging the threaded outlets at main tubes and clamping on a 1way air valve to each hose going to each speed tube. Anyone done anything similar?

You probably need to replace the base.

You need to cut in to the tube to take it out. Loosen, make a slit to remove it (DO NOT SLIT NEAR THE VALVE).

SOMETIMES you can lube the valve with soap, and slip it out the hole. You risk tearing the material though.

As Office mentioned it does sound like the base may need replacement as well. I can get you the parts. send me a PM with you contact info.
