PIK-20 Ballast Fill Fitting

[Glen Kelley]

Folks, could anyone tell me what the part number/description is for the
fitting that screws into the bottom of the PIK-20 ballast dump tube for
filling. My PIK's ballast system appears to be in good repair but I can't
seem to find what fitting to use. I'm sure it is some kind of metric
fitting w/25mm or so threads?

Thanks.

On my PIK 20B the fill tube thread fitting is 3/4 inch water pipe. I
use the plastic garden hose fittings with the internal bore drilled
out to provide a slightly greater water flow. These screw-in fittings
then accept the push-on hose fittings that connect to 1/2 inch bore
hose. All very cheap, convenient and readily available, at least in
Australia.
