I've got a bit of an issue. I have a threaded hole that appears to be 5/16X24.
It may be some oddball pipe thread, but I can get a nut of that thread type on it regardless. Don't know if it would seal, but maybe someone knows what thread this is.
Either way, that's not the point of this post, in the end.
As illustrated in the picture I've included, I currently have what appears to be a Nitto standard male plug. This is the unit that is currently installed, and features that thread count. It's also a bit extended, as you can see. That does matter a bit.
Right beside it in the picture is what I want to go in there. Either this, or some other readily available connector standard. Something that can attach to most any coupler you're likely to find. Doesn't matter what it is, so long as I can go to a parts or hardware store and buy a hose that will snap on.
Now, there are a few ways this might be possible.
1: Perhaps someone makes a fitting that is normal in this nation that will indeed thread into that hole.
2: Maybe there exists an adapter of some variety that will accept the female threads of the commonplace fitting, and end in the male threads of that Nitto fitting.
3: Someone might be manufacturing a Nitto-to-whatever I want adapter.
I'm at a loss. Right now, it appears I'm going to have to use the hole tapped for what seems to be 5/16X24. If that's a pipe thread, I'd sure like to know.
The problem, however, is I don't know what in the immortal hell I'm supposed to be looking for.
I need that tapped hole to end in a male fitting that is compatible with common couplers somehow; not that Nitto stuff.
If I haven't been clear in some area, please let me know.
