Compressor fitting snapped off
Hello

Moving my trailer round in the garage and snapped off the junction pipe to the compressor with two outlets and the guage on.

There is still some thread in the hole sized

I've tried loads of WD type stuff, sawing it with a junior blade and a thread removal tool.

No luck... Help.....


Is this fixable, it's quite old, given to me by a neighbour a few years back.

Get some heat on it.
The down side of those extractors that you show is that they try to expand what you are trying to extract.

It’s a standard fitting so if you cant get the broken bit out you can just remove the fitting and go again. But they probably have sealant in them that heat will overcome.

This sort of fitting. Obviously you need to know your pipe sizes which are probably imperial.

I never thought the bit left in the cylinder would come out as a whole...I assumed that was welded to the cylinder.


Now next issue I don't have anything to get heat on....
