BSP adaptor for an Air Bottle?
One of my most used tools in the garage is my compressor as an air
blower. But I keep thinking how much I would like a portable version.. SOmething like a "Recharable Air Blower" which I could fill from my compressor. As an ex-diver, I had an idea.. I have a small (perhaps 1/2l) air bottle and I figured that with the correct fittings, I could connect it to my cylinder and fill it. As my project developed, I realised that if I fitted a standard 'quick release' fitting to the top of the bottle. I could use it to power ANY tool.. Obviously its not going to give much air, but certainly enough to drive in a few staples for example. The idea is sound, but trying to get the fittings has proved impossible. The thread in the bottle is 7/10" (not sure if 7/10" is right, but thats what my calipers say it is) but no-one that I have found stocks anyhting like this, which will convert to BSP.. Once its in a BSP thread, I already have plenty of adaptors which will let me hook it up. So, the question is, can I get a adaptor to convert the thread on the bottle to BSP? If not, where could I get a small bottle (1L) which is capable of holding a measly 8bar which has a suitable thread? I look forwards to your thoughts Jon |
