Pansy specifies a 5/16 pipe from the superheater hot header to the cylinder with a single pipe union to connect but I can't find a supplier or a drawing of the union – can anybody help?

Thanks, Phil

Assuming you are using nuts and nipples/ferrules then all you need is a bit of hex brass, turn down and thread each end to suit the nut leaving a small length of hex in the middle. Drill say 1/4" through and use a large centre drill to form seats for the nipples.

This sort of thing but a bit larger
