• 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 am working on plumbing FWF on my Gee Bee and trying to locate this fitting or build one. The one in the picture is on a 450 Stearman and has two threaded holes for two temp probes. Front and rear cockpit instruments. I would only need one. The tube is installed inline on the oil line from the tank to the engine. Questions 1, does anyone know a source to buy one or 2 it doesn’t look like it would be that difficult to make one, but does anyone know what that fitting looks like on the inside? I assume that it is open on the side by the probe to allow engine oil to flow by the probe, but you know what they say about assuming things.
Thanks!
