Atlantik V4 Compact thread size

[Njdevils1220]

I have searched everywhere with no luck for this answer. Does anyone know what size boots/threading the Orphek Atlantik V4 compact takes? I want to buy T Bolt to be able to mount the two compacts I ordered to a 8020 rail kit I am building.

Hmm. I'm interested as well as I have two in boxes waiting for me to make a mount for my new tank. Have you posted this question in the Orphek forum?

My plan was to just get some stainless rod and thread through where the cable would go. If we can find this out, I would use that.

You know what.. we got this!

So it is looking like a M4x0.70 or a M4x0.5 I will try to 3d print a nut for both tomorrow and will give you an answer.

Awesome! yeah let me know. I was more so wondering about the stud coming out of the light. Can you get a photo of that? Mine won't arrive until next week. Also how long are the studs coming out of the light.

I was thinking of using rod couplers if I can find one with the right size.

 

[scriptmonkey]

Yeah. The stud is just a screw so if I figure out that thread the other has to match.

 

[Njdevils1220]

Unfortunately the size it seems they have chosen is very hard to find rod coupling nuts for.

[scriptmonkey]

Hmm. I am going to drag the screw to Home Depot to find out for sure.

 

[Njdevils1220]

They really left a lot sticking out didn't they...

 

[scriptmonkey]

Lol yeah.

Btw if it is m4x0.70 I found this:

I cant find my stupid thread gauges. My kid "borrowed" it for his car.

I wonder if it will fit down inside that cutout they have around the stud.

So broke out my handy dandy calibers and it is protruding 3.2mm past the flat back part, not the recess. The countersink diameter is 8.25mm and the depth of counter sink is 3.0mm. The diameter of the coupler is 7mm so confidence is high it will work. I just need to verify the thread and pitch tomorrow. I am going to skip the printer and go to HD and put a nut on it so I do not have to worry about possible deformation of the plastic giving a false positive. Stay tuned......

I found some standoffs that should work then on amazon. Unfortunately they are $30 but they have a decent length to them as well. Fastenall sells them as well but none in stock anywhere so I will call Monday to see if they can get them at $15 as advertised online. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PKM0AZ8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

You could just replace the screws with stainless 8-32 screws from Home Depot. Much cheaper

Are they removable from the fixture?

 

[Njdevils1220]

The studs that is.
