[Tigers] Stinkin NPT adapters....@ wits end.

[Smit, Theo]

Hi Duke,
You might have to get a pair of NPT taps, 3/8 and 1/2"... then re-thread the
manifold and your adapter until you get the depth of engagement that you want.
Otherwise you'll end you way overtightening things and potentially breaking
something.
