OK, I get frustrated when the media in my glass beading booth, gets stuck in the corners and doesn't' flow down to the bottom, where the pick-up is. I even got the vibrator motor that Eastwood sells, but it doesn't work very well. So i had the idea to put some 1/4" tubing around the upper perimeter of the booth, just under the floor. Fittings at each corner, with a tube pointing down, to blow the media to the bottom. Only problem Is, I can't find a "T" that is 90* with another port pointing down. All I can find are fittings looking like a T. Anyone know if there is a place that makes T's like this?
I assume you mean that the two ports that are 90 degree to each other are in one plane and the third port is in another basically making a “corner”.
Buuttt....it sounds like he's looking for a corner T in 1/4" compression fitting. Not so certain one can find that. What's being shown is for pipe sizes and perhaps conduit. I know they're also made in PVC for fresh water plumbing, but again, for 1/2" and larger pipe. Just an observation.....Roger
With some copper tubing, a saw, a torch, and some solder, you should be able to make any type of junction you need. It won't have any pressure on it and you can custom fit it to the box. Crimp the ends down to form nozzles on the four drop down legs. Diameter is not to critical, 1/4" should be enough to blow beads arounds.
Does it need to be 1/4" or metal? Simple PVC glued together might work, some are available with threads they also make PVC pipe adapters. If pressure is required, smaller PEX lines with these fittings might work. https://www.homedepot.com/p/PLUMBFL...For-Use-in-Pex-A-Tubing-XQUF0038-OM/326958411 Search Here: https://www.google.com/search?clien...HVT7CSwQtKgLegQIERAB&biw=1280&bih=800&dpr=1.5 Have you heard of Sharkbite PEX plumbing hardware? https://www.google.com/search?clien...HeBNECMQtKgLegQIFRAB&biw=1280&bih=800&dpr=1.5
