    Default valve dimension question

    Okay, dang it, I've been looking all over for a schematic I used to have- does anyone have a technical drawing or CAD of standard 3/4 scuba tank thread and gland dimensions? I know it is 0.750-14 NPS threads, but I need the dimensions for the o-ring gland. Thanks!

    This is for the thermo pro, the other series are on there as well.

    Thanks, I don't need the valve side- I need the tank dimensions.

    Sorry, I did not read your post very well. I have that at home, if no one else answers I will look tonight. The o-ring size that comes to mind is a 214.

    Yeah 214. Works with tapered sealing surface steel tanks and flat sealing AL tanks. Did you want the sizes of those sealing surfaces?

    yes- perhaps I am not being clear enough- I need the nominal dimensions for the o-ring gland (the notch cut in the top of the tank above the threads where the o-ring fits) and not measured of someone's tank- I need the industry specification for gland depth and OD.

    Jason,
    My manuals did not have the exact measurements like I thought they did. Here is a chart that may help. http://www.allorings.com/gland_static_radial.htm
