All my fittings that accept a strain relief fitting except the two in the front are 1/2". I'll have to go back threw the prints to see where I would of gotten the 1/4" from as I know I wouldn't of just pulled it out of the air. My preference now would be a blue globe fitting as they can take much more pressure but they are made by a German company and only offered in Metric and all my existing threw hulls are a standard NPT thread.</div><div>Rick</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 12:05 AM hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div></div>
