I need to turn my 1.5 inch fuel fill hoses 90 degrees to get from my tanks to my fuel deck fills. Where can I find a brass 90 degree large radius sweep - something like a 4 inch or larger radius?
I've searched real hard but found no marine suppliers for such products. But I found a suitable alternative: for plumbing and central heating installation there are copper and brass elbows that are normally soldered to copper tubes.
I knew they existed in smaller sizes because I've used them in the past to do some plumbing at home, but for larger buildings they also exist in diameters up to 63 mm (2,5"). And the price is just a fraction of what you'd pay if they were intended for marine use.

Thanks, CDK. They are available from a plumbing supply house then? Do you know of a source on line?
No online sources I think. These guys know how to handle a torch and a pipe cutter but faint at the thought of touching a keyboard.
But I'm confident you'll find a local source.
