1st # is bolt diam ,, 2nd # is threads per inch
8/32 = #8 bolt ,, 32 threads per inch
15/32-32 = bolt dia 15/32 ,, 32 tpi
10/24 = #10 bolt ,, 24 tpi

its that simple?
awsome.

this is in inches correct.
so if i get a .08 then that is #8 then just count the threads in and inch?

thanks again,
KNM

No its not in inches. Its the bolt size number. so #8 is actually 0.164" and #10 is 0.190" Once you get past #12 the size does refer directly to the inch measurement.

But yes the number of threads is how many threads are in one inch, so you can just count them.

Just look up the mpa-3 on the manufacturers website. Its either fabco air or a clippard part. I cant remember which. I know the catalog on whichever it is will tell you the specs on the thing including the sizes of the fittings they accept.
