Catch can quick disconnect clips

[Zpak]

Anybody know where to find these clips? I searched the web, went to two auto part stores and even tried my luck at ford. (Stupid I know)
Called UPR and you can only buy the whole fitting not just the clip. I’d guess it’s 3/4”.

I knew it was only a matter of time before one of these broke. Today was that time.

I think Dorman makes some of those clips. Usually used for fuel line and tranny lines.

I’ll keep looking. The dorman ones I found were all tiny. Red for fuel and then the even smaller white ones.

You can get them at Oreillys. I had to buy one when I snapped one swapping my LPFP out for the transfer pump line.

Thanks, I didn’t check there.

I noticed the ones UPR sells now are like the factory fittings where the clip doesn’t come out. That would be much more convenient. I need to stop being cheep and buy the drain line kit.

The drain line would require you to mount the can in a different location. There just isn't enough room to get around the wheel well where it's located.

Just one too many in and outs. I always struggled for some reason to get those to pop out. There must be a trick that I’m unaware of.

Also, I was wondering about exactly that with the drain. I know the bottom of the can is pretty close to the fender well. Is that where the problem lies?

I always push the clip down, then push the actual connector towards the CC fitting. It comes off super easy for me.

I have a thread on here somewhere with all the sizes and what their part numbers are

Thanks for posting. I thought I remembered seeing that thread.

Ziptie is going strong still. Cheap and easy

 

[Zpak]

Yeah but I take that fitting on and off too often to be chopping zip ties all the time.

I think the 5/8” clip fits for that one
