Re: [ST] Fuel fittings

["Sprint ST" <sprint_st@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,
You can't buy the fittings directly from Colder.  Capt. Serlick got them out 
of the same distributer that I did in York, PA.  In my case, Colder's area 
rep set it up for me to get a good deal. Normally these destibutors only 
deal with packs of ten, that's ten each, and you have to pay extra for 
viton. I got two sets for right about $100 complete with viton seals inside 
and out.   Colder must be getting tired of talking to Triumph owners and now 
directs to Fast by Feracci, a Ducati specialty dealer in Philly.  Their 
prices suck.  It's actually cheaper to buy the kit and when you get it, it 
has the right parts.  When I tried the first time through Great Bay, they 
sent me the wrong fittings and I had to send them back.  What follows is 
from an old email on this same subject.

You need to measure to determine what you need. Apparently Triumph used 
different sized hoses on different Year/Models

These are all 1/4" flow fittings

1. The fitting screwed into the tank is a threaded Coupling Body in BSPT, 
British Standard Pipe Thread.
    This will be either,
    FT-LCD100-04BS  1/4"   or
    FT-LCD100-06BS  3/8"
    These both have internal check valves.

2. The other Coupling Body is a Hose Barb type, either,
    FT-LCD160-04  1/4"   or
    FT-LCD160-06  3/8"
    Again, all these have check valves

3. The last two fittings are the same, either
    FT-LCD230-04  1/4"   or
    FT-LCD230-06  3/8"
    Ditto these for check valves

This Info  is from  Omega.com where they will supply the fittings 
individualy and they are in Chrome plated Brass.

These should be Colder fittings, I haven't found another maker.  Other 
companies sell them with similar part numbers.  Omega adds the FT- on the 
front.


Just an FYI, Cpt is the abbreviation for an Army Captain (O-3).  Navy 
Captains (O-6) and Marine Captains (O-3) is Capt.  Capt. Serlick is Navy 
reserve, I believe.
