Any one know the name/type of thread found on the Co2/HPA valves that screws into all ASAs in almost every marker?
ie the internal thread found in AGDs vertical bottle adaptor.
I think it is called a "G-(something)"
Thanks,

I've seen better data sheets somewhere...
None of that explains the pin depressor or o-ring seal area. Maybe that's why there are a lot of differences in asa's.

Thanks for this.
I am looking to make some custom ASAs for family and the thread is my roadblock. The rest of the info I can reverse engineer form existing sources (o-ring seal, pin depressor etc.)

The pin depressor (if not a set screw) is generally about 0.07x, basically equal to one turn of the bottle threads. That length has to match up with where the o-ring seat area ends, so that it doesn't open the pin valve too much before the o-ring is seated. A little vent hole where the seat area ends is a nice feature that can help save o-rings.
