Is that 1/2" thread?
Is it just an elbow or is it a reducing tee?

its the 2nd photo, its a straight plastic fitting with a shank for hose pipe to slide onto it then held with a jubilee clip., same thread as a half inch instantor fitting.
i have a brass half inch fitting with an elbow on it at the moment, i am getting a slight leak where it screws into the aluminium boiler
id prefer a plastic fitting with a proper O ring as close to the original as possible
cheers

As your in Dublin are you anywhere near the mass road.
Call in to modern Plant ,just before the Red Cow . they do a lot of pneumatic stuff , bring the old fitting ,if they don't have ,they may be able to direct you.
Is it possible to drill it out and fit a 1/4 inch BSP brass hose connection .

Cosy Campers in Rathcoole might have something

or perhaps the Carver inlet from Charles Camping might be the same thread.

Since your truma body is aluminium, don't use a brass fitting. Over time the two metals will react and corrode.
Bring your broken fittings to a good trade plumbing supplier. They will be able to make up a combination for you from stock. Also grab a tube of sealant glue for plastic fittings from them.
If you find a MH supplier, they will take their time in dispatching and charge a tenner for a courier.

All i could get my hands on is a 1/2" with an elbow,
It dosent seal with an o ring or it has not got a shoulder to hold an o ring if you get me,

PTFE tape would my choice to seal it,



I can pop them in an envelope if they are any good to you,

As you can see they are pre loved but in ok condition,

i checked out a few places today, i can get it in brass, but thats no good.
A very helpful guy in a place in tallaght called The Water Store, rooted out a possible solution that would work, but looking at yours again they are closer to the original.
what neck of the woods are you in?
