    regulator and solenoid set up?

    Thanks, Although, after further playing around, it seems the sizes are the same... The nipple fitting off the reg, fits into the solenoid nice and snug, and I think its 8mm, which I think is a 3/8" fitting. Although I am unsure about this NPT and BSPT differences...
