I would have said any decent plumbing shop would be able to match that.
Is the thread 10mm (looks too course for that) or the barb?
btw I've got a plumber living next door. ;D
-
Failing a plumbing supplier try a hydraulic hose outfit, PIRTEK or ENZED etc
-
Plumbing suppliers will only have that in 3/8 bsp if your lucky try a hydralic hose supplier
-
Or a irragation outfit will do something like in plastic but metric thread might be a problem
-

the hobby shop

Paul, when you say 10 mm do you mean that`s what size spanner fits it or is that the hose size that fits it. If a 10 mm spanner fits it then i would say the thread could be 1/4 npt as it looks to course to be metric. You should be able to get that fitting in brass at any bearing or air hose supplier. Peter.

gas welding ? like c.i.g or boac something similar
-
Sorry mate.... gas fitter supplier =- LPG - NG - AC fittings If you go to any Reece joint looking for fittings of such it needs to be a HVAc store http://www.reece.com.au/hvacr
Gas welding supplier might ??? never had much luck myself.
-
The closest you will get in a gas fitting is 1/4" bsp I've never run into anything metric
-
Smallest size that most gas/plumbing supplers will have is 1/8 BSP or NPT in either straight or parallel. 1/8 is not the thread OD size though its the ID size. 1/8 fittings have a thread OD of approx 3/8". Also try some car shops like Sprint Auto Parts or Autobahn or Supercheap Auto as they usually have some fittings like that.
One place i know who has metric fittings is Goodridge
http://www.goodridge.net
http://www.goodridge.co.uk/
Australian Importer is
http://www.johnstamnas.com/
If you go to Goodridge site, download their catalogues and you will see metric fittings
Another easy way is someone can machine one up for you out of a lump of brass.
-
These guy's in geelong have a fair assortment of smaller brass stuff than what you will get at an ordinary reece etc etc I know because I have been in there before. ;)

even if you cant get something exactly the same you can weld a small bit of copper onto the brass and adapt it that way.
