Why is that? The one I was looking at on ebay was rated at 725 PSI with 1/2" NPT female threads. I was hoping I could assemble the whole thing with threaded and flare fittings so that I don't have to braze anything. I know compression fittings aren't good for A/C work, but what's wrong with normal threads?
