1/4 BSP to inflate nipple

***Beanie*** · 11th December 2007, 21:31

I want a 1/4 BSP to drysuit inflate nipple (APD styleee) to plumb a cylinder driven LP source to my LP compressor line. Don't worry I have a non return to stop the cylinder gas getting to the compressor and making it go pop

Kind of guessing its not an off the shelf product, so anyone know if there's a 1/4 BSP to 3/8 UNF that I could screw the nipple into?

Or am I best trying to find a small bar of brass and a 1/4 BSP die and get going on the lathe?

Don't suppose anyone has a small 1-2 inch 1/4-1/2 inch diameter bit of scrap brass?

ta muchly

Hello Beanie,

Underwater in France has what you want here but I suspect the shipping cost to England will be quite expensive.
Why don't you contact Undersea Ltd, they have many parts and might help you for the one you want.

Dont forget that the max flow is VERY low with that sort of part

that's fine both of my boosters already have these nipples to drive them anyway

I'm going to look at making one first (more fun and cheaper

and then look at an adaptor to fit the nipple too.

Although having had a flash of inspiration I may already have the bits I need
