Got a new MC (NMC11145) and the front port is listed as being 9/16-18. So, ordered some 9/16-18 fittings for 3/16 line. Seems simple enough. Problem is NONE of the fittings fit. This is the second MC because we thought the MC had munched threads. To verify, I brought to the local NAPA and they found a brass fitting adapter that fit, but was the wrong configuration. Thread size was 9/16-18. The damn thing fit perfectly. Put the brass fittings threads against the steel ones I bought and they don't fit. The stinking threads are different which is why the steel ones (everyone of them from three different sources) only go in about 1/2 way. The steel thread count seems lower just a hair...
I need a solution to this that isn't going to take a week to get parts and I'd prefer it NOT look like a Rube Goldberg machine..... The boy shops out in less than 4 weeks.
