Re: pic: Screw 1

The rotary cylinder is a Bimba Pneu-Turn Model PT-017090 (or PT-017090–M if you ordered "magnetic").
This part number translates to:
-- PT = "Pneu-Turn" line (rotary cylinder)
-- 017 = 3/4" bore
-- 090 = 90 degree rotation
-- M (if added at the end) = Magnetic option

The thread on the ends of this cylinder is #10-32UNF. IMHO, what you really want is a #10-32UNF Push-On connector, so you can go straight to the tubing...

SMC makes them. See the "kq2.pdf" on either the FIRST website (or SMC's, at:

http://www.smcetech.com/CC_catalogs/...f/KQ2_Inch.pdf)

Check with your local SMC dealer to be sure, but if I read this doc correctly, I *think* the part number would be one of:
- Straight connection = KQH07-32 (or KQH07-32S with sealant pre-applied)
- 90deg Elbow style = KQL07-32 (or KQL07-32S with sealant pre-applied)

To find your local SMC dealer, go to: http://smcusa.com/ Enter your state in the "Support Center" box on the left menu, and you'll get the local SMC stocking distributor list. Call them, ask their FAE to verify that part number, and check stock for it. IF they have it, I'd recommend getting one with the sealant pre-applied. That thread is SMALL, and it's tough to use the teflon tape on it without risking getting some in the cylinder!

I hope this helps! (If so, feel free to add to my rep. Thanks!)

Please let me know how this works out! (And if they suggest a different SMC part number, please forward that back to me as well. Thanks!)
