Hi can anyone out there tell me the size of the threads on a standard blowlamp disposable cannister neck, I need to find a regulator to fit one for an engine I’m starting

Thanks

To make a regulator, I usually cannibalise a blowlamp top that fits this type of canister, .

They are usually well made and to far greater tolerances than I can achieve. What’s more they can usually be picked up for 50P at a car boot sale.

Further to the above I did try to find screwing tackle for that thread but the only success I had was at Tracy’s who only had a secondhand, second tap at I think £12

I have a valve that will fit but I need something to reduce the pressure to 1-3psi for an old bill engine, will my valve do this or do I even need a real regulator

Hi,

the thread is 7/16″ x 28 TPI UNEF, ( 11.11 mm x 0.907 mm&nbsp. the male thread on hte canister is somewhat truncated 10.7 mm.

this is for the camping-gaz disposable canister

I recently did an adapter by screwcutting the closest thead possible on my lathe (0.918 mm), which fits quite well, tolerances are not that tight.

taps are available at “Rotagrip” on the internet.

cheers
