throwaway propane tank thread specs

Aug 10, 2016 2 Replies

Has anybody come across the actual specs for the fitting on throw away propane tanks? It seems to be called a CGA 600 fitting and should be 1"x20 UNEF threaded, but past that I can't locate the actual dimensions.



Duping the tank side/male part off an existing tank should be easy enough, but I still want to locate the spec, which seem elusive.


Got a good caliper/micrometer and a thread guage ?

The dimensions for 1-20 UNEF threads are in Machinery's Handbook in the Unified Screw Thread tables.
