That's an odd one, might have to due with a 1/8"npt close nipple and a 1/8"x1/4" npt bushing.

Thats what's there now in brass. I went to Fastenall (I have a bit of and in) they may have one in Burlington for $15+.

I may contact the guy in Dartmouth, that Greg uses.

TTL was the place. This is for a weird keg. The gas in fitting still leaks slightly with 6 wraps of teflon tape. Is the answer 7+ wraps? It is as tight as I can make it.

You can hammer as much tape to the fitting short of not being able to get it to thread. More might help.

Are you threading npt on to flare? I'm not aware of an npt ball lock fitting? Flare are face seal, not thread.

You may be right. In thay case 7 wraps may not be enough.
