Wanted, Fridge gas fitting

[Till]

I'm after a gas fitting for and old electrolux fridge i've bought for my van. I've tried all my local caravan dealers/ breakers,plumbing shops,gas suppliers and anyone else i can think of but just can't get the size i need. Most gas fiitings are imperial but the one i need is metric, it's the same size fitting i have for a trumatic heater i got out of a Berlin camper.

It has 15 8 1 stamped on it which means 15mm thread, 8mm hole for the gas pipe and 1mm pitch thread. I'm not after the pipe or olive just the nut bit.
Cheers,Ade

Dragging this up from the depths...

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm after the same fitting. Its got a finer pitched thread than a normal 8mm compression fitting.

Thanks for any help

Reimo do the german spec gas fittings - I think you need an Überwurfmutter, Ø 8 mm.

look here:

Do a 'reimo uk' search to find the best place to get it from. Concept Multi car are very good, but a few other places will now get you reimo stuff.
