WTF? ???
I have various screw threads with barbs/connectors on the end(1/8,1/4/3/8 etc)hopefully some of them will fit.
no info on the grippatank website at all!they should give you the screw thread sizes/fitments! ::)roll
-
so where do you get your connectors from?i need a 6mm barb on the inside thread and a male rectus 26 on the outside thread.

Mate if you can cancel your order do it!
Get yourself a powerup hd reel.
Honestly the best thing I've bought in a long long time.

Cant grippamax tell you as they sell the reels. I had similar problem when i got my hannay reel eventually found what i needed from these people they were very helpful, so maybe they can help you out if nobody on here can http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/context-pneumatic-supplies-cpm?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 i'm personally selling my hannay reel and getting the power up hd reel.

no IM WRONG!SORRY MATE ::)roll ;D
why do these companies sell these reels without any info on the thread sizes?ive looked at gardiners and all their sizes are in BSP sizes not NPT! >:(

I second this. After Gripper seemingly making their fabrication company raise the price of their tank cages in line with their own, I doubt whether I would ever order from them.

That's the thread size of the standard 1125 range.
As far as know you can use off the shelf fittings but I just wanted you to know in case you cross thread it all.
The reel won't leave Grippa before Monday so just ring on Monday.
Last thing you wanna do is cross thread the brass swivel block as they are close to a £100.
As for not knowing or being wrong I am just repeating what I was told as I have 4 cox reels all 1125 series 3 manual. One electric.

Just remembered had an internal one snap last year and it was just a straightforward swap so maybe they fittings are BSP for the U.K. Market.
I believe Grippa still gets them from Redashe

Haha, let me find the invoice actually that may help.

Right they fitted inside a
GT21/06K 1/2 BSPT MALE X 1/4" ID HOSE.
Now normally we work in 6mm and 8mm but it says 1/4 ID hose and its also a tapered fitting Daz.
So i really wouldn't be trying to screw something in without checking GrippaTank first.
They cost just over £2 each plus vat.
