Hmmm, wouldn't recommend doing that...never tried it though, never heart
about anybody doing it either.

These are the manufacture standards from CGA V-I-1977, ANSI B57.1-1977:

3/4" NGS (19.0mm)  Threads cylinder: length 0.95" (24.1mm) 13.2 threads  /
Valve: length 0.77" (19.5mm) 10.7 threads

Have fun!

THOMAS
