flow sensor problem

I ordered a flow sensor to monitor my uv sterilizer as I lost most of my fish due to an ich outbreak. my problem is that the fittings used to connect to the flow sensor I can not find in Canada. if anyone knows of a supplier or someone willing to send me the fittings let me know. thanks

Check out this thread on reef central, they are talking about the same issue I guess.
Of course an expensive option is get a couple machined up?

thanks I seen that one earlier but no definitive working part there or supplier. ill try acklands and see what they have.

Please let us know. I am def interested in finding a solution

Found a part made by spears just need to find a supplier.

so spent 70 to special order the spears fittings and they do not fit. would be great if one of the ghl guys could jump in on this for a supplier or part number for the fittings required to use the ghl flow sensors. thanks

Please understand that we can only provide this information for buying the fitting adapters (have a look at nominal width & thread): Attachment 7484

yes I have that sheet but the numbers are not standard stuff we have available in Canada. ive been to every supplier in my city and no one can source me a proper fitting. it doesn't say what the g1 is I read online that it may be bsp so I ordered the adapters but they did not work. I was able to find this on a different thread http://www.construnario.com/presto/921/4/424/424.gif but no one can confirm that's what I need and for the 50 per unit it will cost me I don't want to lose any more cash on it. thanks

what size has the tube you want the flow sensor connect to?

20mm is roughly 1/2 inch so id like to go half inch atleast

Actually 19mm is 3/4" (20mm plumbing fittings) so you need to go that size at least.
2.5 mm is 1/2" (which is normally 15mm in the plumbing fittings.)

at this point I would take what ever I can to match the flow sensor.
