Angled barbs

I know you guys cant link to any, but just wondering If my searches are pointless!!

Anyways, Im after some 45 degree barbs. I know you can get 45 degree compression fittings from various places but only seem to be able to find the right angled barbs and Im not a big fan of them.

Can I not find any because Im not looking hard enough or because they dont exist? lol

I'm quite sure they do exist although I couldn't seem to track any down. I had to use the angled compression fittings in the end. Really not a fan of them. I've never had a problem with them although I never quite trust them either.

All I can say is that they were one thing I couldn't seem to find either. You would think someone would make some though.

Ive managed to find some by Bitspower (can trust them for all your barby needs haha) however only found them for sale in America for $15 each lol. Everywhere I find Bitspower parts in the UK the shop only sells about 2 or 3 different parts

The Bitspower rotary 45s are very nice and more should be arriving on these shores soon, sometime, maybe, or so they say. I bought mine from Germany, so perhaps look to the East.

The Koolance 45's are quite sweet but are relatively restrictive if this is a concern. The Fesser parts are, err, functional.

I'll look around in some mainland Europe shops then. Hate buying from the US because of import tax but dont have to pay it on things bought in the EU do you? Dont think I ever have before anyway lol.

Thanks for the info

No additional duty if bought within the EU. VAT is paid just like buying within the UK but charged at whatever rate is relevant for the country you're dealing with.
