I had an issue with a clog in my bowden tube. Well after trying to fix the issue, I need a PTC fitting replacement. Seemecnc is sold out.
But I'm not coming up with an exact replacement. Can someone more savvy with buying these parts steer me in the right direction?

I'm not 100% sure about this, but it may make sense to buy one that's rated for a higher pressure. These things are notorious for breaking and it makes logical sense to me that a higher pressure unit would be stronger and more durable. The amazon ones are only rated at 145 PSI.

I bought a bunch for experimenting with a few days ago from McMaster.

I found some here locally (not that the source helps you) and I mention it only because they have zero play when connected with my bowden while the stock ones have a tiny amount of play.

When I go to the link it's to these types of parts in general. Do you know what to click on or have a more specific link to the correct part?

You have to find out what those are. Zero slop is the bowden tube holy grail.

Any USA source? Could take forever from Hong Kong.
