Jim,
There are 1400 Jabiru airplanes flying around the world with 1/8 NPT
fittings plus several hundred Zenith 601=92s with our FWF kit that uses
the
same size. In fuel flow tests we see a flow of twice the expected high
use.
1/8 NPT x =BC hose is sufficient.
Pete

Mark:
Will the 1/8 NPT fittings still allow enough fuel flow?
Linda; do you remember what size fittings are on your selector valve?
Jim!

Jim,
Consider the FS20x3 and FS20x7. I believe that both Linda Mathais and
Joe
Cooper used the FS20x7.
Go to their web site http://www.andair.co.uk/system/index.html and you
can
configure the valve just about any way you like. I suggest that you
configure it with either 1/8 NPT or =BC NPT female fittings on all
sides. This
way you can use inexpensive brass elbows (90 & 45 with a =BC barb on the
other
end) to connect up to the fuel line supplied with the kit. If I had my
choice I=92d use the 1/8 NPT fitting at least on the inlets because the
1/8
brass elbows are smaller and you=92re working with limited space in the
center
console.
These options weren=92t available when working with Joe and Linda=92s
planes. We
had to buy reducers from AN6 fittings to =BC barbs. It works just fine
but is
bulky and adds weight.
Hope this helps.

You folks that have used the andair fuel valves in your Lightning, can
you
tell me which model you used?
Also, what fittings did you use?
Thanks
Jim!
