Maybe someone can help:
As I understand there are two versions of the legris straight connector.
A short and a longer version - the longer one is believed to be the correct one.
Now is there anyone who has a vintage legris straight (correct long version) and could provide the following exact measurements:
Maybe someone with an exact calliper could help me out…
I will come up with a different thread in the next few days where these measurements would help A LOT!

Thanks so much!
Of interest are:
the length of the hex body only (as mentioned above) without the nipple…without the threaded part - and the width across flat of the hex body.
If these measurements match up exactly with the stuff I have here - it surely would be a cool discovery for pack builders.
.438" flat to flat on hex body. .395" length of hex body without nipple or threaded portion. I dont know if it is a long or short.

Interesting…
.438" flat to flat…in metric this is 11.1 milimeter.
Mine is - flat to flat - exactly 10mm.
1mm differnce in the overall size…half a milimeter on both sides.
.438" would be a 7/16 wrench? Does that fit?
To be thorough, I checked the Legris I have with a 10mm and an 11mm socket. The 11mm kind of fits but VERY tightly. I also tested it with some 5/32" OD tubing I have and it is super secure.
So, my measurements seem correct. Is it possible that I have an inaacurate Legris? Sure. Im pretty knowledgeable about the fittings, but Im still learning.

I made up a thread in the tutorial section…this was the reason why I was interested in the measurements.
