[QUOTE="john998, post: 20417, member: 289"] Hello, No more snow yet so have been briefly in the garage. The Screwfix 8mm valve I have is 19tpi BSP. when I fitted one on the outfit I made up an adaptor, known in the trade as a gauge adaptor. 1/4 female to 1/4 male. This allowed me to use the olive that came with valve to seal a short piece if 1/4 pipe into the valve to increase the amount of reserve on that side. another advantage is that you can make the male thread longer and use a 1/4 BSP nut so you can position the tap more easily. If you want to screw the tap in directly you will need to seal it with a good thread seal as there is no flange and the thread is parallel. The mystery is why we are still using BSP in a metric world. John. [/QUOTE]
