Brass Nuts to connect bilge pipes to pump and changeover
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 6:06 pm
I am now cleaning and overhauling my bilge pumping system. All is going well, even the bilge pump pulley has surrendered half a century of rust, and has come apart.
But I need three more of the large brass nuts that hold the piping to the pump and changeover thing. These are two-and-five-eigths inches across the flats, one-and-five-sixteenths inches deep, and have a thread of 14tpi. The diameter of the male union is two-and-a-quarter inches
They are mighty chunks of brass
I had supposed, wrongly, that most marine chandlers would have something similar, but am having no luck at all. Surely someone (who has dismantled a wreck, for instance) must have some spares.
Can anyone help, please ?
