5mm fitting to air compressor adapter for solenoid can’t find.

I haven’t been able to find a 5 mm fitting adapter to an air compressor fitting yet. Anyone have any ideas as to where to find a fitting like that.

I thought I found one but the threads were fine instead of course so they didn’t match up. That’s the last peice I need to get the gripper working I think.

Hi Mike, You wont find a fitting to go straight from your air compressor to the inlet port of the value. What you need is a 4mm x 1/4" BSP or BSPP connector for your air compressor, and another of those 4mm x M5 fittings on the inlet port (P) of the valve, connected together with a length of 4mm hose.

Here's a link to what you should be looking for ... https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/48683080.
