I don't recall what George used in the K600 to tap off the air cylinder so just thinking on my own here. I like the idea of a flexible hose going to a manifold rather than a rigid pipe system that requires everything line up perfectly to the tank.</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10421"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10455" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10454"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10453"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10452"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10451"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10521"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10588"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520789713006_10587">From:</span></b> Sean T.

There are Swagelok and other fittings which will work, but watch your wrench clearances when using multiple adjacent ports. On that note, LP SCUBA ports are either 3/8-24 UNF - 2B (most common) or 1/2-20 UNF - 2B (less common). Be aware that while most HP SCUBA SPG hoses have a pinhole bore in order to reduce the consequences of a HP hose failure, some SCUBA regulators incorporate the pinhole restriction into the regulator itself, which will limit the available flow rate at high pressure. Of course, if your drawing gas off at high pressure anyway, why go through the reg?<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sean<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sent from ProtonMail mobile<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">-------- Original Message --------<br clear="none">On Mar 11, 2018, 07:12, Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles < personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<blockquote class="yiv5431455762protonmail_quote"><br clear="none"></blockquote></div><div class="yiv5431455762yqt2009048913" id="yiv5431455762yqt66975"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Are there adapters that can change a SCUBA HP hose fitting to NPT?</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv5431455762yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520777355398_5939">Jon</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv5431455762yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520777355398_5940"><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="yiv5431455762yqt2009048913" id="yiv5431455762yqt72858">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></blockquote></div></div></div><div class="yqt4367046932" id="yqt87789">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
