I'm putting some Dwyer Photohelics on an airflow system and I need a pitot tube I can mount on ducts for static pressure readings. Last time I did this was five years ago and I found some simple 1/8" brass tubes that did the job great, but I can't remember who made them or where I got them.

Any tips on locating such fittings?

I call any of our local controls suppliers and they have them on the shelf in limited quantities, with large lots a few days away.

All I'm finding are things like $60 Dwyer 167 tubes. I remember getting something with a threaded flange for permanent mounting for more like $10. Perhaps a key point is that I only want a static pressure reading, so I don't need the concentric pitot tubes with hookups for both static and total pressures.

Johnson Controls FTG18A-600R should do the trick.
