Looking for a specific Conduit Fitting

[MichaelEwer]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the conduit fittings shown in this ebay link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Plastic-T-type-...993?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b124ceb9

The only place I can find them on the entire internet is in this ebay link. I have called the place that put them on ebay, and they don't seem to know where they came from. We have a John Deere wiring harness for an engine, and they have these fittings. We like them and would like to incorporate them into our own wiring harnesses.

I have found one other company that provides similar fittings shown here:

http://www-public.tnb.com/ps/fulltilt/index_CA.cgi?part=CTC11

However, these fittings only come with all three diameters being the same. I would like the breakout to have a different diameter than the inlet and outlet.

Any help on who makes these fittings would be greatly appreciated.

If you Google the PN (TE19/19/6, mentioned on the eBay page), there are several additional (not just ebay) Internet links that appear.

I found two TE Plastics. One in China and here's the other...

Yikes.

(No confirmation at all that either of these is the company you seek. Just a hunch based on the TE part number prefix.)

Hmm interesting. I have already google searched everything that can be google searched and it seems all links simply lead to the ebay posting. I am surprised McMaster does not carry a similar product.

I have a feeling that this company is Chinese, because it is possible that they would not have an English website and thus would be very hard to find.

Maybe buy one from ebay and then examine it for company marks, and 'Made in China' or 'Made in Redditch, England' evidence.

I actually already have some with me, they came on a John Deere wiring harness. There are no marks on them other than a logo with an S in a square and the size.

I think it's a 'loom tee', like this:

Googling was pretty fascinating; seems like pretty much every link eventually wound up back at either the same Ebay listing or very similar.

Examination of the picture in the listing shows something that looks like a stylized "5" on right hand side of the tee.

Okay, I found out that the company name is "Sofanou". This led me here:

This link shows the desired TEE-fitting in the picture for "branching and fastening accessories". However, once clicked, the link is empty.

As I didn't quite say, in the US, that stuff is called 'loom' not 'conduit'.
