Cylinder Neck Union/Mounting Extender (MSS or SAE 3/4-16 port)
The Mountain High Cylinder Neck Extender is used in applications where clamping at the cylinder neck is desirable. Many European sailplanes have mounting brackets designed to clamp onto the neck at the top of the cylinder. Most U.S. cylinders don't have a neck on which to clamp. This adapter makes it possible to mount U.S. cylinders in European neck mounting brackets.
There are times when there is not enough area at the cylinder neck to allow clamping. The Mountain High Cylinder Neck Extender extends the area between the cylinder neck and the valve allowing clamping in this area. This is used mostly in Sailplane applications.
If necessary, this adapter can be machined-down to a smaller diameter. A machining charge applies for this modification.
