Water System Fittings

[still at it]

The fresh water system in my 1986 Beneteau First 405 is fitted with 16mm hoses and fittings which I haven't been able to source anywhere. I'm specifically looking for the compression fittings. They must exist out there somewhere!
Thanks, Richard

Wasn't able to find on Amazon. The fittings are over a 16mm outside diameter hose and are plastic
not brass.

try under Whale fittings

Whale uses 15mm fittings. 16mm seems to be an odd ball size1

Well, then I guess your username is appropriate
Sorry I wasn't much help.
I have a Jeanneau (eeez like a beneteau) and most of the fittings are whales. I bought some additional whale fittings from amazon to simply winterizing the system.

look for 5/8 od in that type fitting 16 mm is only 4 thousandths smaller than 5/8 inches

ps........look for pex/watts brand you should get some hits

Watts website shows all their 5/8 fittings under discontinued products, however, found link
to supplyhouse.com and they do stock some 5/8 fittings. I've decided to order a couple of their
fittings and see if I can't make something work. Thanks for the lead.

I hated the fittings on our Bene's water lines, and all the nasty clamps underneath the sinks, so I just replaced all the water lines with Pex and a variety of push on type fittings.

May well go down that road also!
