Trying to find an adapter, converting the RAW HM1000x to Thoeben Rapid, hence need thread size & pitch for each.
Any help is appreciated.

Tuning RAW HM1000x Regulator Thread Size vs. Thoeben Rapid Regulator Thread
- Thread starter SpiralGroove
- Start date
Have you checked with BEST FITTINGS in the UK ? Not for an adapter per-say, but that of the tester body having the different threads for "X" chassis raw rifles

No, BEST Fittings and Dr. John do not show a comparable tester body sized for the RAW HM1000x.
I'm thinking of buy another test gauge > 2000 psi ... my liquid filled one only goes to 137 bar. The .25 cal. HM1000x regulator likely exceeds that in stock form.

There is also 2 different sizes of regs one for the older hm1000x and one for the new hm1000x one has out side of threads or major of threads measures 19 mm for the new one and the older one measures 16mm about found this out on huma website when I ordered a huma reg for mine to add plenum space
Yes the 25 raw is set usually at about 150 bar

Thanks Airgun,
Yeah I'll just buy a new gauge, because there's no way am I going to find a male fitting for my "BEST - Rapid Tester" (BS pipe thread), with a female 19MM thread for the regulator.

19 mm is the major of the threads or the outside I'm not sure what actual pitch and size is just informing you about 2 different reg sizes

The standard Theoben Regulator thread size (bit that goes into the block) is a 3/8 BSPP (corrected typo)
The RAW HM1000x is a 3/4 UNF 16 gauge thread.

I don't own a Theoben Rapid, but converting BSP to NPT, UNF, UNC has always caused me to pause a bit ..............

It does get a bit overwhelming...
But bsp vs npt..... 55º vs 60º threads....of pitch variance.....
But the person that will know.... Martin Rutherford.....CEO of the late Theoben and Founder of RAW.....
Now started a new company for part and tuning.... Airguns-USA

Yeah, I've cut various threads on my lathe & had to buy BPS pitch cutting tools.
Thankfully, The Rapid 7 owners club was a big help.

Having CNC helps, I all you need are diameters, angle of thread, depth of thread and thread gauge. Yoiu just convert to metric and the machine does all the work for you.
e.g. 3/8 BSPP has a TPI of 19. So 25.4 divided 19 = 1.337mm tpi.
16 gauge would be 25.4 divided by 16 = 1.587mm tpi
Put measurements in machine - sorted

Its not rocket science, just basic engineering, anyone can find out these things using thread gauges and a Vernier/micrometer.
I've already made a reg for the HM1000x so can confirm.

True It isn't Rocket Science.....
But for some, without the proper measuring tools......It Might as Well Be!!!!

Yeah I can make the conversion between different threads on my lathe, but I'm really slow at doing it - as it's not done very often.
My $450 Harbor Freight lathe could never cut SS properly to make a HM1000x regulator body - not going to happen.
I'm fine with its limitations and don't need to re-create every wheel ... even though it would be fun.
