New digital gauges!
- Thread starter stoti
- Start date
BSP ( British Standard Pipe) only refers to the standard. You need the 4th letter to define the thread as either P (parallel) or T (tapered). Putting a set of verniers across the thread should show you if it is a straight or tapered thread. Evidence of pipe dope or Teflon tape might be an indicator of a tapered thread. I have no idea what FX uses but being Swedish origin I strongly believe it won't be NPT which is usually a North American standard. Talking to either your dealer or FX is the best way of confirming the thread size and designation if you are unsure

Hi Edosan . Can you give us your advice which type of thread we should choose for the impact ?
Upvote 0
Edosan thanks for your reply. After Bying 6 rear blocks and many different types of gauges I know already that the right size is 1/8BSP. If you try to preorder from sekhmet the digital gauge,you have to choose between 1/8 NPT, 1/8 BSPP or M10*1.0.These are the choices. The member Rog_g and many other members gave a good explanation ( thank you for this) and I have read many articles regarding the threads but still I am not hundred percent sure which one of these 3 choices will fit to impact . I tried to contact by email with Sekhmet but there is a problem with their email address. My dealer no way to know these details .I can’t order from Europe to USA and receive the wrong type.Maybe Stoti or Centercut could help regarding the right type? Thank you in advance any help would be appreciated .....

Not an expert in thread nomenclature (while it looks g1/8-28 seems ok, but not 100% sure about the 28 tpi) but I know 1/8 bspp works fine, edgun edmu use that thread and is 100% fit for impacts (got several edmu working today)

It's not necessary to add the last letter. AS far as I know, BSP parallel is the standard imperial thread type used in the airgun and dive world. You won't find BSPT on any guns or filling accessories. NPT is pretty much only used in the US and is the universal standard for paintball fittings. I think that BSPT is now virtually obsolete like Whitworth.

I really like the digital gauge idea but why can't it just be an LCD screen so you don't have to charge batteries?
Maybe I'm just getting old, but there's something about maintaining the analogue mechanical nature of a gun. I'm not knocking the product, so don't take it the wrong way. Knowing your gauge has better than 1% accuracy is really cool. After having EDMU's that were just a disaster I'm hesitant. Maybe some used ones will show up in a few months.

Not sold out. they haven't started selling them yet. Two or three weeks they'll be available. I wasn't trying to be secretive about the company, they are just very busy right now trying to get things finalized, just didn't want them getting bombarded with calls, e-mails etc. before they're ready. Soon, very soon.
I just looked on the back of the packaging I have for the gauges that were sent for my Impact, they are indeed 1/8"BSPP. Sorry, I missed that. I was looking at the gauges available on the website under product parameters and they are listed as BSP. On the drop down menu though they are listed as BSPP. I should have looked at tha packaging too. Sorry about the confusion guys. The packaging I got my gauges in is labeled BSPP and I am using them on my Impact. That's what you'll need!

Hi Stoti . Can you give us your knowledge please regarding which type of thread fits to Fx impact? They have 3 options in their site.
1/8 PSPP, 1/8 NPT and 10*1.0
thank you in advance...

1/8BSPP is what I have on my Impact. Sorry about the confusion, their website has them listed differently in two places. Here's the packaging on the ones I got for my Impact.

Sorry Stoti . I didn’t read your second paragraph. Is early morning here and didn’t have a coffee yet 
! Thank you for giving the right dimension! 3 days we are trying to figure out the size in this topic .
Thanks again !!!

While I feel this iteration of a digital gauge is superior to edguns based on preliminary review...I still personally prefer analog. The charging cable is quite ingenious and a large improvement from the edgun.
I calibrate my analog gauges (accurate within 5%), with my liquid filled gauges (accurate within 1%), which means within the range I care for, my analog gauge is very accurate, and equally easy to read.
I mean, all I need my gauge to tell me is if I am still above regulated pressure, which is does very well...the rest of the calculations I do myself (psi per shot, cc per shot, ect).
So while there is quite the cool factor, and guys with high end air guns will toss their dollars at this device like a two bit stripper that is flaunting her crotch in your face...these digital gauges, any regulated air gun, be it high end or not, really don't provide that much benefit other than the 'cool factor'...
I think they're a great addition to the industry, and support them...but their practicality is truly minimized and cost is kind of exorbitant, simply following the trend of the edgun's gauge there...To go from an analog gauge that cost 10-20$ to a digital gauge that cost 5x that, where the only reason I even take a peak at it is to ensure its 'above' X psi...ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no.

Allowing for inflation, lets say 2 bits = 2 bucks.
Then according to your premise ackuric, the cost of this digital gauge buys a $19 analogue unit, and 40 flaunting floozy face flashes
That's a fabulous bargain
AND
No mask needed.
Will you post a link please?

Internet research lends truth to your POV, Eaglebeak
However,there really is not a complete compendium of thread knowledge to be found ,as far as I can tell.
It sure would be great to find a database that provides detail on all of the thread configurations such as BSP NPT, NPTF, UNC, UNF, JNC, and all of those my lack of knowledge has omitted,
Imperial & Metric, of course
