CCM Mag-Specific Air Fittings Coming Soon

[Menace_AO]

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.

High five to more third parties making Mag stuff!

I told ccm about this years ago and they didn't want to do it. I asked a few weeks back and they said they had some out to plating. I purchased some for mine this weekend. Hopefully they fit the nummech frame. Ill post when i get mine in.

who woulda' thunk... they initially released the longer fittings for "non-CCM" markers and everyone cried that they wanted the lower-profile fittings instead (not necessarily here - they also claimed that the threading was more "square" or something silly like that)

now they're re-releasing them again. kind of seems to be the trend of CCM lately

They only have black or black but I like the Azodin fittings best.

Part of the problem has been one of interest, and of cost. My guess is that interest previous to this has either been too small or too casual, or else the people buying them for this application simply haven't paid attention to the threading.

If only a couple of people ask for something, it doesn't make a lot of sense to do a tiny run.

But if a larger interest can be demonstrated, then it becomes more feasible to do a small run and split the cost difference.

Preference is preference, but the CCM stuff is made in the US (a fact that you of all people should appreciate), and it is made superbly. For those reasons alone I'm perfectly happy to pay a little more money.

Hmm. Got to get me few pairs of these.

So let me get this right, the newer CCM fittings are significantly shorter? Is there a safety standard for thread depth on something like this? It seems that almost every 1/8 npt threaded fitting I have come across has been about the same.

I will snap a pic when i get one in. it is pretty noticable. The new ones will work fine with ule bodies. however aftermarket bodies it gets pretty tight with the short stem. No one will comment on the 1/8 npt thread depth. We had this discussion somewhere and i think someone reached out to Bill and he wouldn't comment.

I'm sure they will change the housing and banjo bolt length and not the thread length.

I doubt it. I bought just the posts not the complete fittings.

Don't use ccm fittings, problem solved. Too many problems for just an aesthetic choice...

I hate them, I hate dealing with them, when I see them on a gun I am working on the fee goes up and I become less generous. :O

I know they work for some people but the ones I've personally dealt with all leaked around the banjo bolt o-rings.
