What did anybody use to connect a Derale 15300 aftercooler between their QT-54 pump and tank.
I asking about fittings.
Or, what is this?
1/2" brass compression tube fitting
90 Degree To
1/2" male iron pipe
( Maybe 3/8 hard to tell from the picture)

As for the rad
AN8 which is a flare fitting
Typical flare for copper is 45°

Thanks @TinWhisperer
This is the air line between the pump going into the tank.
This fitting doesn’t have a ferrule (sleeve in your image)
The 1/2" O.D. tube fits inside the male fitting. There seems to be a sleeve integrated into the nut. I cannot slide the nut up the tube to see what it is. I cannot find a similar fitting this size on line to identify what it is.
I read you don’t use compressing fittings on gas/compression over 125 psi. I guess the is just air flow as the Quincy decompreses this line after the pump stops so the motor doesn’t have to start under load.
I suppose I can cut into the tube, put flares on it and just crack on from there.
Maybe its this type of compression fitting? SelfAlign ? page 52
It is in this catalog https://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@eaton/@hyd/documents/content/pll_1015.pdf
Those have a higher rating then that. page 46
in this Quincy QT-54 manual https://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/manuals/quincy-016ebdd7885d7da9902daf96f8b3aba5.pdf its shows and numbers all the fittings expect the one painted blue
Hopefully something helpful here
Dude, you rock!
That Jamieson looks like the stuff. The description says for vibration.
The manual and part list came with my compressor is lacking the detail you found. I’ll look into finding a better one.
I am always amazed by the quality of people like you on this forum who are so willing to help others.
Can’t thank you enough.
