The following post was taken from the RFL forum. I thought all you pneumatics guys would appreciate this one....
I was doing research for a non bots pneumatic project and came across this post on a 2007 spudgun forum. It show how clueless folks can be. I wonder if he lived to tell the tale?
How is the thread 5/8in when a 3/8in pipe would not fit?
My c02 tank had a 3/8in thread but it was not npt threaded so I had to improvise.
So I took a dremel and sanded the threads off, then I got a 3/8 to 1/4in bushing wrapped it in teflon and put some 60 second epoxy on it. Then I twisted it into the tank with a pipe wrench. It was extremely hard to get in there but I got it all the way in after a lot of effort and then the epoxy set which made it rock solid. I then put more epoxy around the bushing and the tank for added safety. It should hold up to 250psi with no problems or leaks, the epoxy I used is rated for 1250 psi plus I screwed the fitting into the metal.
