Thread fitting size (MV-50)

[Jeeper Creeper]

Every thing I'm finding for the tap drill is only 1/4" - 20......... can't find the 1/4" - 14. Isn't that the threads per inch, just wanna make sure that I mess things up.

So it is metric.... will I be able to find a brass tee that's metric, or will I have to drill and tap? and are thos the correct drill tap size I would need?

It is metric pipe thread, remove the cylinder head and drill it 7/16" and tap it 1/4"-14 NPT and be done with it.

I did that to both of mine.

It's most likely metric thread of some sort, pretty sure it isn't 1/4" NPT but I got that to thread into the cyl head of mine with a bit of persuasion. You could try a 1/4" NPT tap as long as you keep the cuttings out of the compressor head.
All the fittings you want to use are either 1/4" NPT or 1/8" NPT that's what ARB uses on their solenoids

I emailed superflow but as of yet haven't heard back, maybe I should call. I've tried several hardware stores, auto stores, and even Aren rents...

I superflow customer svc, can't help. I would recommend, taking the nipple, to a good hardware store, that has a great selection. There's a place near me, that has a "bolt room". If they don't have what I need, they know where to get it. Look for a place like that in your area. Good Luck.

I have a superflow mv-50 onboard air compressor. It came with a air nipple already on it so I could hook-up a coupler to it. I'm taking out the air nipple so I can put a brass tee in the hole that will work with the lines to my lockers, I'm having a hard time finding out what size thread that superflow has on those compressor..... does anyone know what superflow uses for that thread size? Its diffently not your average thread.
