Does anyone know where i can get a schrader valve that will screw into a 1/4" NPT? Home Depot doesn't carry it.

I have started to make shrader valves with metric threads for my own use. If I have alot i may be able to sell them on ebay, or some other way, anyone intrested may ask me about it, this however is neither a promis or an event in the near future.

McMaster Part# 8063K38

Or just buy one with 1/8" NPT threads and step it up with a bushing.

Thanx anyway dude, but after 20 google searches and 10 phone calls, i managed to find some brass ones that fit 1/4" npt threads.
