Trying to use a Banjo valve that came with a past purchase and trying to reduce 1" to 3/8ths" hose. The openings to the Banjo are threaded female. I’ve looked for a reducer that would get me down to 3/8ths with little luck. Can anyone suggest a source or another way to reduce this so that I can run some 3/8" hose in and out of it?
It will take 2 reducers I think. You would have 1" to 1/2" bushing and then 1/2" to 3/8" bushing or something similar but will get you to 3/8". Not sure you will find just a single fitting to go from 1" to 3/8"
Oh, I just realized you’re going to hose. Get a 1" to 1/2" bushing and then a 1/2" npt to 3/8" barb fitting. Done

Find a good local hydraulic supply shop. They’re worth their weight in gold!

Both responses are good. Tractor Supply has what you need Im sure. But a hose shop should have too
What in the world are you working on George?
Go down to B&B… take GB BLVD all the way to Bainbridge and you will see it.
Figured a trip to B&B tomorrow. To answer Rowdy, I’m being plagued by my softwash system again. It’s lost a lot of its kick lately and I’m eliminating potentials until I find it. Last time it was a metal fitting that had corroded badly. I suspect a metal valve that shouldn’t have been put on there in the first place may be the culprit.

Why not just get the right size banjo vs throwing on numerous fittings?

Even if it takes 37 fittings and is only a little cheaper it happens.
