Help with aka60/ida thread size

Not that this helps, but i think it may be 5/8 bspp. I ended up removing the hp tee from the reg, leaving it attatched to both tanks, getting a 1/4"bspp to 1/4npt fitting from granger. the fitting required a little drilling on the bspp side to clear the "nipple" on the rebreathers tube fitting.

Gidday there. I had an AKA60 once. The fitting on the umbilical fill and tanks is actually a German standard thread for some argon/helium/Co2 valves. described as 21.8 x 1/14" . You can get a DIN adapter from here
Adapter Luft G5/8"i - O2 UNI 4406i - W+S Water Safety Europe GmbH - Online Shop - Seit 1999
They are easy to deal with and very helpful (and speak English). Hope that helps.

Thanks very much for your help - that solves a real threshhold problem.
