How is the CGA-580 fitting threaded into this unit? I want to take that out and use NPT as much as I can.

Hey if that piece is screwed to a tank, if it is a very good piece but not exceed 400 pounds

It is threaded into the body. What that thread size is im not sure. Cant take of the 580 fitting and tube without damaging/destroying it.

Yes but you'll want to make sure it's 3/4 NPT threads on the other side. It's harder to find.

Threads inside of my tank take the fitting on it ... it's a LH thread by the way, opposite from what you're used to...

I never had a problem, it just screwed right in. I just unscrewed it to check: the bottom part definitely has threads on the outside of the pole part and the middle pole has threads on the inside. Must be defective. :( Have them send you another.

The NPT tapered pipe threads in the clamp head won't fit threaded metric pipe (unless you thread it with an NPT die). If this is a problem, try using Irwin pipe clamps which have sliding fit on both pieces--no threads.

Do yourself a favor, I have purchased 2 of these heaters. Take the hose/regulator and the 90 degree elbow with you to the home depot or Lowes and let them get the correct adaptor for you. That's what I did. If I remember correctly its not an npt thread on both ends of the connector. I don't know why Mr. Heater doesn't supply everything needed to connect to the propane tank.

I just bought the monmsoon chain gun fittings 1/2id 58od and the are really close side by side on everything except the photon , so if your threads are 1/4 it should work on the photon but if your gpu water blocks may be tight but there is always a way.

I removed the bottom fitting and threaded a 1/4 npt male quick release air hose fitting into it. Works great

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

Did you find the unit with a threaded waste port? The waste port should be described or at least a photo provided. Just had to RETURN a unit because of that. IF they had included an threaded piece to install instead of that drop tube requiring a second trap - which actually - I measured a trap will not fit into the space. I guess they figured WE would remake all the pipes under OUR sinks to accommodate THEIR disposals OR call a plumber. Remember 'create jobs'!!!

Might be a little big. Works great in my 30ga. Maybe if they have a smaller one

I would recommend pin connectors. As mentioned in some of the reviews, the openings for each of the cable terminations are quite small. I ultimately had to remove approximately 40% of the strands, solder and then pinch the wire flat to be able to fit them into each of the holes. If I had pin connectors this would have likely have been a better way to go. Have not had a chance to provide feedback yet but this was a very painful exercise and I will reflect this in my summary. Other than this the unit seems fine.

I bought the Dorman fittings. I plan to use this filter / regulator on a 71 cuda that I am putting a 5.7 hemi in. I think they will work but I have not used them yet. I think there are 2 sizes needed

The out is 1/2 i.d. tube fitting on it but can be removed to have a 1in npt. You can get a bushing to do this at lowes to bring it to a 1/4 npt thats what I did.

It's threaded exactly the same. The housing is shorter, however, by about an inch (from memory. Rough guess.)

Yes. It comes with adapters, tubing, etc. You may need a special fitting depending on your application. It is set up for I believe 1/8" NPT.
