The Green Hornet Has Arrived

Nice link, I'm just not sure it's the better connection. After doing some net searching, it seems you can thread NPT into BSPP however it will thread in deeper. I will wrap the threads with teflon tape and see if they seal better than the O-ring does.

I put an npt male in all of mine and it works fine... just don't over tighten, it could crack the aluminum especially with teflon tape.

Thanks Zoama, by the way I want to wire the unit for 220v and currently have a stand alone receptacle (6-50R) on a 40amp breaker, will this circuit be sufficient for max voltage/amperage cutting?

On all our units there is a spec table/matrix on the back of right side (looking from the back). The imax will be there. If 40 or less you are good. I have ran 42 amp unit on 40 amp breakers. But check the max current on the side. White silkscreen.
