Hawk Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I'm trying to upgrade/replace the dust blower on my Delta P-20 with Loc-Line. The original one broke at the entry point on the upper arm. I need to find a nut to go on the Loc-Line connector, the size I need is 10mm with a pitch of 1.0, I've been searching hardware stores, online and I find plenty of 10mm with a pitch of 1.5 Any idea where I could fine a nut to fit the part in the picture? the smaller one is what fit the hole for the blower line. Hope this wasn't too confusing. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctutor Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 are you sure you need a nut. Could you use heat shrink tubing on the fitting that is left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 (edited) The fitting fits through a hole in the side of the upper arm. Shrink tubing may work, I'll keep that in mind. Edited February 6 by Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) I don't know what size these are in this kit but it shows two different threaded parts and one looks a lot like what you show here. I've bought pieces and parts of this stuff from here before so maybe do some looking. Also known as coolant hose for metal drills/lathes etc. so that might be another search term to use. https://www.grainger.com/product/6Y724?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2293:99F1R6:20501231&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzoeuBhDqARIsAMdH14Ghe-brxtcqgwme5esjlHRkXt5xcAAFkvjYVd-ihU4pm762EcEcRssaAis8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Edit Oopps I guess I should have read better. Looks like you've already searched the parts but cannot find exact thread size. Edited February 7 by kmmcrafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 I'm thinking that I may need to improvise and adapt something, I can find something that looks like it may work on the Loc Line site, but the description isn't the best, and buying 20 of them to get it wrong doesn't make since. The search continues.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hi, you should try McMaster-Carr , in their website you'll find any kind of nuts …..they are not cheap but you’ll find what you need. Kind regards Angelo Hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’m quite sure loc line has adapters to go from metal tubing to their plastic fittings. They are pretty versatile. Somewhere ( maybe eBay) I’ve seen these fittings sold individually.

Scrappile Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 That is a loc-line product. You might contact them here and ask. I have purchased directly from them before: https://www.loc-line.com OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rash_powder Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hot glue works great. It will come off too, just takes a little work. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafairchild2 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 RTV Silicone works well too. https://amzn.to/3uqeYaO OCtoolguy and Hawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Well, what I did was fashion a nut out of yellow heart and along with some Goop glued the assembly into the P20. Trying to get that "nut" on then the hose put thru it under that arm was not easy for this guy. But it works and that what counts. I really like my P20, it's just so dang heavy (lol) Thanks for all the suggestions. Chris OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
