Fittings and terminology.

[kentek314]

Greetings,

Just bought a Hatsan BullBoss and need some help setting up proper charging connectors. I have a compressor and a pricey NinJa bottle setup that I use for my Diana Bandit.

I want to use the same setup for the Hatson. What I don't know is how to figure out what I have now. I think fittings are all BSPP. Where do I find the spec on BSPP measurements? 

Also need a pressure release valve. If anyone has a good choice please advise. There is a lot of junk out there. I own some...

Thanks in advance.

I guess you're looking for a bleed valve for in line pressure release but it's hard to understand what you're looking for based on your description. Pictures would help tremendously & explain PRECISELY what you want to accomplish. Do both guns use a fill PROBE or FOSTER or a combination of both?

Here you go: https://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/whitworth-pipe-thread.html

Unfortunatly it probably wont do you much good.

If your fittings are Chinese they just might be M10x1 which is almost the same as 1/8" BSPP :-(

Whitworth is a funny thing ans is only 55deg on the ridges whereas metric and UN is 60deg. That means that you can fit a metric/UN nut over a Whitworth male thread and get away with it, but not the other way around.

UN pipe threads are all comical so seldom used on our fittings, but M10x1 and 1/8"BSP can be confused by a novice.



Whitworth threads:

UN/Metric threads:

Now you're confused on a way higher level ;-)

Told you it might just be more confusing knowing it all.

What do you have for a fill probe? Something like this ?

Where the fill probe is separatefrom the hose or is it threaded to the hose? If it connects with a quick disconnect then the foster fitting should fit the hatsan quick connector that huma air makes

If you do not have a quick disconnect then you probably should get one so you can use the bottle to be able to fill both guns. Maybe show a picture of what you have.

If you have 1/8 bspp it is NOT a tapered fitting. It will have 28 threads per inch and will have a diameter .383 inch or 9.728 mm.

If you are worried that it may be a metric m10 x 1 just get a m10 x 1.0 bolt or nut and see if it EASILY threads on if it does then you know it is metric.

Thanks guys,

Finally got a no leak solution and can now connect both air guns with quick connects. Flying blind as no-one defines, describes, lists, much of anything useful in their documentation.

I am still looking for a solution for a fill valve regulator so i don't over fill the BullBoss. For now just using the gauge on my compressor.

Your compressor didn’t come with a built in bleed valve? Or is your bleed valve pictured connected to your ninja tank?

if you know thread types, and you’re at NPT go to airtanksplus.com. If trying to set up something with mainly BSP go to bestfittings.com. Best also has NPT if you have a mix of fitting needs and just want to shop at one place.

Boy you have a whole lot of adapters! Yes please show us what you have as it would make things easier than guessing. I know nothing about Ninja bottle setups or who makes them. A company name and model number maybe?
