Unloader fastening ?
« on: July 03, 2014, 07:06:05 pm »
What do you call the fastening that connects the unloader to the pump, it looks like a couple of large nuts fastened together ?      Mine has snapped so I can't work, just wondered where I could get one from sharpish ?

Any advice greatly appreciated thanks  ;D

Thanks for that, I had a new one fitted not long ago, but I didn't ask what it was called, but it hasn't lasted long !

It will probably be a 3/8 male female, the female swivel is the usual culprit, when ordering new ones step them up to 1/2 inch, much stronger, you will probably need a 3/8 male to 1/2 female for the pump and a 3/8 male to 1/2 male to go in your unloader, then you join them together :)
