Default Fitting and Hose Sizing

I just got a used basic NX wet kit with vortech nozzle and I'm wanting to replace some of the lines and fittings to mount some of this stuff.

Does anyone know what the thread size is going into the solenoids? The line is 6AN i believe, but it uses an adapter to go to NPT for the solenoid. It also has an adapter on the out-side that goes to the nozzle. Is this a 4AN? What's the NPT size for that adapter? Also, is the connection to the nozzle itself 4AN?

I've also got a NOS n2o solenoid that is the purge. The sizes on the fittings going into it appear to be the same, but can anyone confirm that?

Thanks,

Kris

On my nx kit the hose going from the noids to the nozzle are #4.

I got to doing some comparing with another kit that was here and it looks like the line from my bottle to the solenoids (and from fuel rail to solenoid for gas) is all 4AN. And then the hoses to my vortech nozzle is 3AN.

I'm not completely sure still, I've got a friendly n2o junkie that i'll go pester about it tomorrow.

4AN lines bottle to solenoid, and a 3AN line to the nozzle is typical (and more than adequate) for base systems. I would guess that the fitting at the solenoid is 1/8 NPT. Try contacting NX directly or checking their catalog and you should be able to find out for sure.
