All,

Just wanted to put out the word that CCM is coming out with a limited run of fittings designed just for our beloved valves.

Owing to the relatively shallow depth of the air fitting inlet, AGD threading on the valves runs a little small. Added to this is the fact that CCM builds their fittings to their own markers, which run a slightly larger spec.

Stacked up, these tolerance differences mean that newer CCM fittings typically will only go about two turns into mag valves, which is not ideal for strength, especially given the input pressures we like to run. Probably most folk don't even notice this, but it is something to consider if safety is an issue for you.

Their older fittings had longer posts, which worked well in this application and allowed more turns into the valve, but of course, these are no longer available new.

This limited run will come as a set of two fittings, and will have one normal length post for the ASA and one longer post that goes into the valve.

I believe the set will run $30.

They should theoretically be available now, but the site may not yet reflect that. You can always contact them directly for more information.
