Tippmann MiniLite... VASA Fitting Info?

[LudovicoSoldier]

I picked myself up a MiniLite which needs a bit of love. One of the things that it needs is a replacement brass 90 compression fitting for the VASA. As you can see the existing one sheared off. Anyone know the thread size or particular fitting from McMaster Carr?

I read somewhere they're 1/16th npt. No idea if the guy posting was being sarcastic or not.

Maybe that helps? 🤷♂️

I would have expected it to be 1/8 npt. I've used these ones on other markers:
Brass Compression Tube Fitting for Air&Water, Elbow Adapter, for 1/4" Tube OD x 1/8 NPTF Male | McMaster-Carr

Edit: That's a thinner OD hose isn't it? Is the entire fitting smaller? I'm questioning everything I know...

[Jordan]

Those fittings look like scaled down 1/8" npt elbows in person.... they're tiny.

[LudovicoSoldier]

Definitely smaller than 1/8 NPT...

Valve is already pretty close to toast... I'd just drill it and tap it for something commonly available at your local hardware store.

Myrkul I’d like to not modify it too much. The slot in the body isn’t big enough for 1/8. I can get that stub out no problem.

Bump for info!
