Hi, I'm looking for one of those threaded fittings that go onto the end of an original airbag. They've got roughly a 1" threaded part on one side, and a 3/4" threaded part on the other, and are a bit under 2" total length.

Anybody got a spare??

thanks,
Karen

Without going to look on my coach I'm guessing that is a standard pipe fitting ie; 1' to 3/4" reducer Any box or hardware store.

Randy and Karen,

That is not a standard pipe fitting.
I was talking others here at DuQuoin and learned more about this. They are a special and there is an O-ring or flat rubber washer underneath. They are also reported to be a bear to remove without trashing the rubber.

I will ask around here (among 150 coaches) and see if anybody knows where one might be available.

To Matt and all, Michael unfortunately didn't have an airbag fitting after all, so I'm still looking for one.

thanks,
Karen

Karen,
How about the member who recently reported having a bad bag -- he might cut the end off and send to you. He was the Rutgers fan -- that's how I remember his post.

My spare came with the fitting missing as well.
