I am looking for John Guest fittings. I am interested in the straight adapter 1/4" BSPT 3/8"OD [PI011202S], swivel elbow adapter (1/4" BSPT, 3/8" OD)
[PI091202S] and the tube insert [TSI312S] for my Tygon tubing (the fittings are 5/16"OD size on the site but I have 5/16"ID, 7/16"OD and 1/16 thickness tubing from highspeedPC).

I have emailed US Plastics and they don't have the BSPT threaded adapters. So I have also emailed John Guest itself and they have directed me to a distributor but not sure this company will deliver a smaller order of parts. Looking for help if you all could. I need the BSPT fittings to work the mostly Innovatek parts and Switech blocks. I do like the John Guest fittings and have a little more experience with them. I know of McMaster/Carr but I don't know if there fittings are the same or similar to John Guest and I would like to see them first. Home Depot or Lowes does not seem to stock speed fittings in my area and ACE Hardware is no different. Fry's is pretty useless in my area although they seem to stock more and more online stuff. They are listed as a Swiftech distributor but I didn't see any products nor did the guys there know (or care; you know it's Fry's. I don't have please sell me crap pasted on my forehead) what I was looking for.

Any suggestions?
