Ok, I'll be the bastard that throws the 1st rock at you guys from C-Systems ..
I've just got hold of NPT metal fittings from Dariusz - nickel plated, 1/4 NPT, innovalike 8/10 ons - ( I was part of the french grouped order by Melpheos ), and yesterday I tried to fit them on my pumps. the 1st pump went alright, but the 2d gave me some trouble : fitting the outlet went flawless - suprizingly I had no issue whatsoever to screw the bastard in ... - but the inlet was more of an issue : the fitting WOULDN'T even start to get in the thread. I had to force its way through a bit, then did the 1/4th technique for a turn, then proceeded till I got some resistance.
When I got the fitting out to tape it with teflon, I noticed the thread was totally destroyed ( I'll post pics later )
I guess I'll have to rethread the inlet, but this time, I'll go for 3/8" BSP cyl threading.
I'm not blaming you guys or anything - well, just a bit then ... - I know I behaved like a brute. but still, your threads are total crap - excuse the wording but I can't think of any more appropriate word for my feelings. Also - and I should have been smarter - the same pump gave me trouble when I tried to fit the provided 1/4 plastic fitting on the inlet.
This said, I'm gonna see if I can save the pump I've just destroyed ( gee, why didn't you guys think about threading the pumps with EUROPEAN standards ... you know, BSP and all that crap
? )
edit : I hate beta testing stuff ...
