Brass Fitting for Screw on Water Separator

Does anybody know where to get one of the brass fittings that goes onto the bottom of the screw on water separator fuel filters? It's a reverse threaded hollow piece. Mine just cracked at both the top and bottom. I might just have to get one of the fuel filters without the water in fuel sensor, but was hoping to just be able to save cash and just get a new fitting. I can't find anything searching for it, hesitant to try and find it in a hardware store

It should be the same fitting you can find at a hardware store to drain water out of the bottom of an air compressor. Did you check LMC trucks?

Did you break the water drain part or the water in fuel sensor part? Those are two separate things ...
The one piece filters you can buy that don't need the bottom section come in a few flavors. I think they all have a water drain, some have a spot for the water in fuel sensor to screw into (with a new o-ring for it), some don't. I think you are looking for Wix 33617 for the drain and water in fuel sensor version and Wix 33417 for just the water drain. But double check before you order.

this is from FleetFilter.com

33617... Can be used in place of 33217 - This is a complete spin-on w/ drain + sensor port (sensor port connection is 7/16-20 - 33805 is the same filter w/ a different sensor port size - 1/2-20). If no sensor port needed, use 33417

I’m assuming you mean the drain valve? Here is the part numbers for it

E8TZ-9J305-A is the kit. Ran me about $100

International is 1813018C91
