So, yes, I do have an idea. Take an old CO2 extinguisher, drill a 11.5mm hole in the center of the "male thread", tap a 1/2 bsp thread in it, cut it off the old valve , and from there it should be a no-brainer.

Don know if I'm saying something silly as I'm not sure I fully understand what you're after, but...you could use this to connect to the paintball valve:

and this to connect to the co2 nut:

Don't you mean tap a 1/4" bsp hole?

Tapping, threading, whatever, cutting a thread in a hole, yes, that is what I mean.

BTW, I do have such bronze "adaptors". I use one of those for pretesting heavy setups with compressed air.

Sorry I wasn't clear- the point I was making wa should said in your post to tap a 1/2"BSP thread which would leave almost no wall thickness, I assumed you actually meant 1/4" BSP- but looking at a valve I have it already has a hole in it larger than 11.5, can't quite remember as not at home right now but it was something like 15mm. But I guess the principle would work with a larger thread.

Hey Max, I think this is what you need:

The male part which mates to your co2 nut is DIN477-6 (0.860")
The female part is CGA320, which is interchangeable to 1/2"Bsp, add a 1/2" angle if you need it that way... hope this helps

Hi guys

I've had a quick flick through some of the pages of this thread I cant seem to find the answer, so I'll just post it here.
Which specific Bürket valve do most of you guys use? I'm thinking its the 5404?

Thanks for responses in advance
