The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm dealing with an inverted system on a IO-360 where the sump strainer fitting broke when removing from the sump. The fitting simply seems to be an AN823 elbow With the nipple side drilled oversize for the installation of the strainer.

Everything I see on the Christen or Raven system shows this part being made from an AN826 tee fitting (Christen 810-S).

I'll need a replacement for this fitting so my question is does anyone know where I can purchase just the 810-S fitting? Or I was considering just buying an AN826 tee and re-using the strainer which I was able to remove from the broken fitting.

The strainer seemed to just be pressed into the nipple fitting, can anyone confirm this? Or is the strainer held inside the AN fitting with some sort of adhesive?

Thanks !

Ryan
