Pitot Static
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2022 3:12 pm
For those of you still building or thinking of upgrading:
I'm installing Garmin G3x Touch. I was looking for push-to-connect tubing and fittings for my pitot, static and AOA.
Stein Air was one place many RV builders mentioned. And of course McMaster-Carr.
I came across Automation Direct www.automationdirect.com (no affiliation of any kind). They were MUCH less expensive. My total for all the tubing and connectors I need (minus the AN fittings needed for the Garmin pitot/aoa) was $110.
Example: Stein Air was 1.39 per foot for the tubing. Automation direct was 19.00 for 100 ft (.19/ft)
Male tubing connector 1/4 tube to 1/8 pipe: Stein Air $4.25 ea, Automation Direct was $4.75 for a package of 5 (.95/ea).
Not cheap China stuff.
