I broke one and would like to have a couple so I have 1 spare. Chrome "mushroom" type with 1" flange, 2" long for 1/2" push on hose, threads are 5/8" diameter. Original was cast aluminum and chrome plated. Can't find any matching online.

Is it something like this:

Almost. The flange on mine are rounded not squarish like those. Wouldn't be a big deal but I've got 4 dumps and was trying to avoid them being mismatched.

IS IT LIKE THIS?

Close, but mine don't have that straight vertical shoulder. They're the old school rounded ones. I may wind up having to use those though.

These ?

That's them! How much to part with a couple?
-
I have some new ones, $11.00 each
-
Figures you would have new ones Jim. ;D
Roost, new ones are your best bet. :thumbup: This style tends to fail when they get old and they get removed and re installed, the heads snap off right when you think there are just tight enough. I wouldn't feel good about selling you used ones, they would probably snap when you go to install them.

I don't know if they'll work with how the hoses are connected, but for $11 ea I'd be will to get a couple and try.

They're the same slip on hose as the ones I have just ribbed to hold the hose better, I have one that looks just like Jims new ones too.

The difference is the ones you have have longer threads whereas the new ones have shorter threads and a longer nipple. My bilge pumps don't use "hose", they are a flexible kind of conduit (for lack of a better description) and thread onto the threaded part of the fitting. The nipple part isn't used.

Ahhhhhhhh now I understand. Looked at the ones I have, the one I have like Jims has 1" long threads, the other three I showed have 1 1/4" long threads.
-
Is it a standard thread? Don't you have a lathe?
Get some stainless bolts and turn the heads down and drill them out. And voila!

No mill, no lathe. I'm in the stoneage.....

Propless, you have a PM

Not a matter of turning it on a lathe. I need the OD of the threads, not the nipple.
-
You start with a stainless bolt with the appropriate thread. Drill it to the desired ID. Then turn the head to match your other fittings. The stainless polishes nice and stays nice. Single pointing on a lathe is a PITA if you don't do it regularly, so if I can make something out of a bolt rather than bar stock, I am that much further ahead.
Of course, things that that are always better to purchase than make, if what you want is available.
Anyway, just saying... With your abilities and projects, I'm suprised you don't have a lathe.
Cheers,
Joe

And you have some water dump fittings on their way. ;)
