Was planning to mount a T-800 (from wakemakers) directly to a ball valve to fill my IBS and noticed that the T800 has straight threads and the ball valve has tapered threads. Any issues with making this connection? Attwood makes p/n 4653 which is the T800 with NPT threads. Do I need to get the NPT threaded T-800?
People do it all the time (though that doesn't make it right). If it were me I'd get the right threads. You probably know this but remember that you can't cut tapered threads shorter so make sure your sizes will work.
Thanks Dan, I think I'll order the p/n with the right threads. Hey thanks again for the pics you sent of your setup. Helped immensely.Quote:

Is your ball-valve straight or pipe threads?
Why not just get an adapter?
Not sure I follow but I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to plumbing. Is there an adapter with NPT on one side and NPS on the other?Quote:

Nothing too complicated but some thing that speeds fill times a bit and allows automation of the IBS. Still have to fill a 400 on the seats but not sure how to get around that other than a custom Enzo-style sac.
Ball valve is pipe threads as is the thru- hull fitting.Quote:
