Thread size/pitch for sheridan 12 gram plug?

bacci paintball · 05-01-2008, 11:09 PM

I need to pick up a tap to retrace the threads for the 12 gram plugs on some sheridans I am working on.
So I was wondering if anyone knew the thread size and pitch and where I could pick up the right tap?

Also, just to clarify, I do need the tap for the inside of the threads of the lower tube.

Thanks and as usual any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Dan, you could ask tymcneer what size and were he got his. He mentions having one in this thread were he's selling brass tubing: Brass Tubing

The thread pitch is 28tpi I'm pretty sure. I can't remember the major diameter though.

Thanks Smiley! I just placed an order but I didn't meet the minimum with one tap so I ordered two. If someone wants one of the two just pm me.

Hi-jacking

..... Well you got the answer already

... but how about the thread size for the valve retaining nut .... I need to order taps for both sizes...

Dang! I am a total space case! I should have bought one for the valve retaining nut also! When we find that out I would be up for making another order or picking one up from someone.
Thanks again guys,

This is a custom tap. You won't find it 'off the shelf'.
