Paintball reg manometer threads and digital manometers

[Spacebus]

This Sekhmet manometer (https://www.sekhmetonline.com/products/25mm-digital-gauge-standard) is on sale and I'm thinking about getting one or two of them to put on my Bandito bottle build. Perhaps my google skills are lacking, but I can't find what the standard threads are for the manometers on paintball regs and I don't have a thread gauge handy.

I'm also curious about this "Orcair" branded manometer (), but only because it has a back light. There's also the $100 Sekhmet gauge, but not sure I really want to spend that kind of coin. The Orcair is significantly larger in diameter, but hard to ignore for the price.

The Sekhmet website is lacking in details for their products. Does the gauge come with a charging cable?

All of my regs are 1/8” npt (ninja)

From my understanding (not my experience), the sekhmet that is on sale is utter junk and customer service is slow to none. Apparently they develop internal leaks.

Forgot…the orcair type work just fine. I have a couple and am pleased.

And fwiw, the standard size sekhmets I have work just fine.

Did you use the Orcair manometer with the paintball reg? I like that it is super simple with a battery.

The one you linked to is 1/8bspp. I’ve not used it in any regs, just guns.

Are the manometers on paintball regs 1/8 BSPP?

[sb327]

As far as I know, they are GENERALLY 1/8” npt. I know my ninjas are and I’m pretty sure the copies are too.

You are calling yours a paintball reg, can you be more descriptive? A link maybe? Paintball reg could be something different than what I’m thinking of.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394454003397 This is what I'm using and the manometer from the reg that came with my Tippmann 9 ci bottle fits on the black regulator portion. I guess Sekhmet is the only option for 1/8 NPT digital manometers.

You may be correct…

To verify you have npt thread, hold it up and the threaded portion will be tapered. This is how it seals, by wedging as it screws in. It will most likely need thread tape.

The bsp thread is straight and requires a seal at the bottom of the hole in the reg (could be a plastic washer or an oring, both work)
