I was going to warn you but I guess too late.
AA is the McMaster-Carr of aero fluid fittings - they sell to just about
everyone who flys fittings professionally. If you need something that is
not very common, you're better off making your own usually.
For Ed, a 1/4" NPT fitting has quite a bit of meat in it, I would think
you would have enough room to get a check valve in it. I've drilled out
-4 fittings for 1/4-28 set-screw orfices, which is a pretty handy trick.
