Can anyone describe the parts circled in red? Also it'd be great if we knew where to buy it. Our team is situated Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We searched AndyMarks for the T shaped valve but didn't find one with 3 female ports. As well apparently we don't need the top part circled in red if the bottom part circled in red comes in size 1/8 by 3/8 inch where the pressure relief valve doesn't need an enlarger.

Btw the size is 1/8" and the enlarger takes in 1/8" and gives out 3/8". This seems to be the only thing (besides cylinders) that we need to work our pneumatic system.

Your google doc file is doesn't have permissions set for me to view it. Make the change and I'd be happy to help.

Sorry about that. All fixed!

The fittings you circled are standard brass pipe fittings, you should be able to pick them up at a local hardware store.

But they are missing the thing that attaches them to the connector. http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2002.htm

That is just a standard brass "t" fitting with female ports. If you can't find them locally, you can find them online somewhere like automation direct. (http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Overview/Catalog/Pneumatic_Components/Pneumatic_Fittings_-a-_Air_Couplings/Threaded_Fittings)

The part in the bottom red circle is a brass female 1/8" T. The piece above it is a 1/8" male to 1/4" female adapter. The adapter is required to connect the relief valve (1/4") to everything else (1/8"). I can't find any of the female T's at AndyMark, but here is a link to the same product from AutomationDirect:

The adapter is available on AndyMark:

My team used our $20 AutomationDirect voucher to buy a whole bunch of these brass fittings, and I think it was money well spent.

Thanks! The right sized T seems impossible to find at hardware stores.
