Theoben Rapid valve cap

[Chuck-in-Ohio]

 Can anyone tell me what the valve cap or valve blanking cap thread dimension is for a Rapid?



Thanks!

The one between the barrel and bottle or underneath the action?

 The one right above the bottle attachment valve.

OOPS! BB is correct! SEE BELOW!!!

I knew 14x1.5 was something close I guess that's the MFR internal bottle threads.

Why does the o-ring kit state 14mm for the Valve cap?

The 14 x 1.78 are the correct size but I always have some spare 14 x 2 just in case I have trouble sealing the cap or the reg/free flow to the block.

Likewise, I have some thicker 7.5 x 2 to replace the o ring under the reg push pin disc if I am getting reg creep

Additionally, I add the valve stem 2.54 x 1 o ring to the m3 valve location screw on later model Rapinds an RAW, this serves 2 purposes, firstly is eliminates blow out during firings, secondly it stops the valve location screw bottoming out and pushing the valve off its seat or causing it to become stiff.
