    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A

    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A

    7/16x20 UNF from what I have been able to find, the problem is this is parallel thread and the seal is normally the copper gasket where the tip gets narrower. A shoulder O-ring fitting might work for testing, but it would be normally unsupported so would tend to blow out. Ike

    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A
