Where To Buy Angled Foster Adapter?

[mrbulk]

...something like this?

I don't think anyone sells that but you could build it yourself easily. Get a 90 degree female elbow from Swagelok. Female foster to male threads, Male Foster to male threads.

It's called an !/8" NPT "Street 90"...available at any Ace Hardware for less than $4.00       dave

But, probably not rated for your intended pressure.

Thanks for making this post.  I can't believe I waited this long to assemble one of these, it is so much more convenient than a straight connector/strain relief.

Depending upon shipping charges Best Fittings might save a few bucks over this one

Hope this helps

DO NOT use a standard Black iron pipe "Street L" from the Hardware Store they are not safe a PCP pressures... even Schedule 80.
 Hydraulic fittings like the Swedgelock yes...

Thanks for the safety advice, @Hoosier Daddy
Allow me to add this:
A search online (Amazon & a Google Search) yielded 2 different stainless steel 90-degree foster fittings.
However. when reading the details, it turns out they are only rated at 2700 psi working load.
This too would be a safety issue
My understanding is that 5000 psi is what we air gummers need

The 90* fittings are NOT NPT (National Pipe Threads). I am not sure of the correct metric thread nomenclature but NPT threads are much coarser and will NOT work.

I built one of these a couple of years ago using the best fittings elbow for when I'm shooting my
DAQ airguns it makes life much easier.

Foster fittings are available with 1/8"npt threads, 1/8" BSP threads and a couple others. I buy them in 1/8" npt.

The 316L stainless fittings from Parker have a 400bar rating. Reasonably sure the Swagelok fittings will be similarly rated. The plated steel fittings found in the hydraulics store usually carry a 5000psi rating. The plated steel versions are cheap as chips, usually <$5

Parker Street Elbow NPT... 5000PSI

I purchase 1/8" NPT hydraulic fittings when I need something compatible with Fosters, most are rated 5000-6000 psi.... The pic of the Best Fittings female "Foster" above appears to be a brass one.... I would NOT use that on 4500 psi, even 3000 psi is questionable.... I only use brass "Fosters" on CO2....
