I ordered the 5/16 and four way from you last fall/winter. I had installed
it with the 1/4 connector that came with it. I plan on moving its location
so I removed it. I still
have the 5/16 I bought waiting for install. I know the 1/4 tubing work fine
just
figured that I would make it match the tubing with the stove and fridge. I
was just
curious if the compression side of the 5/16 connector I bought from you was
also
BSPT. I already marked the threaded on female portion with a marker would
there
would be no mistakinly mixing it up with any others.
   Thanks I had thought that was exhaust. It ran so clean last year there
was no residue
on the inside to double check! I will make note that I wasn't getting full
BTU's out of it
till I turned up the pressure on the regulator on a tip from you. I have
since then verified
the pressure with a homemade rig of tubes and water....

Thanks,
B
