air line taps

[SmartWerks]

I am looking for some 1/2 bs in line taps for my air system, any suggestions?

I have 1 which is stainless but i want to save that for my stainless chemical tank

half inch bsp are cheap enough if u trawl ebay for a few

i think screwfix do some cheap ones

edit
some only go up to 4 bar and some are only suitable for water so double check

And a quid less at tool station. Doesn't give pressure ratings, I assume I use gas ones?

 

[brightspark]

yellow handle ones for gas but any other colour for air will do

Be careful with cheap ones, I bought some and they developed backlash between the lever and ball which meant I couldn't close them fully without cutting off the lug which limits the handle's travel.

I imagine if the are gas approved they shouldn't be that bad?

These were for compressed air.

Some others (different make) I bought are still fine after 10 years of use.

I like to use T-Mex They are not exactly the cheapest supplier, but they are in my opinion the most reliable and fastest dispatch on-line supplier I have found for fittings and adaptors of 1 & 1/2" BSP and under (inc metric equivalents) in HDPE, Brass, plated Brass and Stainless steel.
