I wish to make an adaptor to fit onto the disposable Butane or Butane / Propane mix Gas cannisters that are sold in the high street DIY shops. Could somebody please tell me what thread is used on these items, it seems to be about 7/16 diameter but I cannot measure the pitch.

Oddly enough I had an email enquiring about this a few days ago. apparently it's a '7/16 NS thread' and it's known as a 'lindal valve' to EN417.

I can't find detail of the thread form, but taps are available, at least form the US (be prepared for a small shock).

it is some weird non standard thing, precisely to stop you doing what you're trying to. However you can buy an adaptor, try ebay

Neil, thanks for the link. From the info I got from that site and by sacrificing a friends adaptor I can state with a fair degree of confidence that the thread is 7/16 x 28 tpi UNEF
