[PSUBS-MAILIST] Valve part 2

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

 James, as this is a tapered pipe thread (NPT in states) , I would buy a pipe tap that fits this thread and cut the female threads a bit deeper by running the tap until it lands and then getting a few more turns on it with a wrench.  This should enable you to get a few more threads engaged.  As Jon notes, it would be easy to test joint by connecting a pressure washer with a bypass valve and a pressure gage and subject it to a pressure 1.5 times the design depth.  IF it is leak free, you are good to go.

 Hi all.I didn’t get any responses to my valve dilemma.  I’ve made another video with the problem right at the start so you don’t have to watch it all.  I would really appreciate some advice here, I’m not sure what to do.
