Obscure part question (F-shape 3-way hose barb)

RBOOM & Infrasound
1

In the “Raspberry Boom” that I got as assemble-it-yourself parts some time ago (may no longer be sold?) there was a 3-way hose barb connector in the shape of an “F” that connects the two small tubes going to the differential pressure sensor, to one tube going to the outside world. The flexible tubes are about 4 mm or 5/32" in ID.

Does anyone know where I can obtain such a part? I have had difficulty finding a source. I can easily find 3-way hose barbs in the shape of a T or a Y, but that shape is much less space-efficient in an enclosure, if you want two of the tubes to be parallel with each other.

Hello jbeale,

This is the product we use to keep the two tubes distanced:

Auveco # 12940 Nylon F Connector 3/16" X 3/16" X 3/16"

You can find it on some retail websites or even on eBay.

Hope this helps!

Super helpful, thank you! Sure enough, there it is. I did not realize it was sold as an auto part.

Yeah, when making seismographs and infrasound devices we always find ourselves dipping into other industries to repurpose existing parts for our creations :slight_smile:
