    I have the Rago wifey mounts.

    Goals:
    - Reduce joints
    - No unnecessary bends in the hose (3/8" OD)
    - All metal fittings
    - Schraders coming off the frame perpendicular to make pressing the fittings on them easier, (and I think it will look cleaner)

    So far the best I can find, to make it two pieces (two joints) is a Hose to 1/4" NPT Female 90deg (Viair P/N 13856) essentially a single piece of the blue&green, and then a regular 1/4" NPT Male to Schrader. But the hose-NPT is sold out on Amazon and I don't want to pay what other vendors want for it.

    If I can find a 1/4" NPT Female to Schrader part I can find plenty of Hose to 1/4" NPT Male 90s.

    Three joints looks like a strait hose to 1/4 NPT Female, to a 1/4NPT 90, to a 1/4NPT Male to Schrader. Probably not the end of the world.

    I already have the pieces for hose to schrader directly. I'm worried that this will result in having to bend the hose around to

    You just need stainless or sometimes called food grade push-to-connect air fittings. Most any industrial parts suppliers near you should have what you want on the shelf. I wouldnt over pay for the Viair name when ones from Parker or even the cheap ebay ones have worked well for me.

    I wasn't trying for the name in particular. They're just the only one I found with a female npt on a 90.

    I bought all the parts to do it as three pieces. I'll just deal with that, it's not the end of the world, nothing done teflon tape can't fix.

    Yeah female on a 90 is gonna need a coupling. Id use the teflon paste instead of the tape. It sucks to have a small piece of that tape rip off and clog up the air line.
