'90° Swivel Elbow Adaptor' query

Could somebody please tell me what is the OD (outer diameter) of the thread of the regular

'90° Swivel Elbow Adaptor' that you fix onto the 'Swivel' of the 'Hyper3 In-Line Regulator'?

Is it 3/8"?

What is the 'Microline' OD (outer diameter) that fits '90° Swivel Elbow Adaptor', is it 6mm?

The OD (outer diameter) of the thread of common '90° Swivel Elbow Adaptor' is 1/8" NPT (10,242mm).

The OD (outer diameter) of the regular 'Microline' (pneumatic hose) that you stick into the '90° Swivel Elbow Adaptor' is 1/4" (6.350mm).

In general, wrong and wrong again.

The thread is 1/8" NPT. It is approx. 3/8" in diameter, but it's a tapered thread so it depends how you measure it.

The normal macroline hose OD used in paintball is 1/4". 6mm hasn't been in common use in paintball for a few years now.

Thanks for clarifying it Rabies.

I assumed that the threads were BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered Threads) ones,

I didn't thought that they might be NPT ones (National Pipe Thread Tapered, U.S. Standard) my bad ;)
