Question:
I measured it. it is a 3/8 inch.
asked by: David
Expert Reply:
Most regulators like the part # CAM59005 have an inlet of 1/4 inch SAE and an outlet of 3/8 NPT.
It would be out of the ordinary if your tank to regulator wasn't 1/4 inch SAE inverted flare. Part # CAM59053 has this style of fittings on both sides. Part # 100040-144-MBS has 3/8 inch on the other hand.
Heres how you tell difference between 3/8 NPT and 1/4 NPT. The difference is the outside diameter.
1/4 inch is .540 outside diameter on the threads and 3/8 inch is .675 inch.
