    Co2/ASA Thread

    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,

    CGA something...compressed gas association iirc

    CGA 320 Thread
    or
    0.825-14NGO-RH-EXT

    Explanation of the above.....

    0.825" outside dia
    14 Teeth Per Inch
    RH Right Hand
    EXT External
    NGO... Acronym for
    National Gas Outlet



    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.
