Shape: Pretty squarish, not very long. Two taps would be ideal.

Thanks,

BSPT is common on paint ball gear. Yeah, can you be a little more
specific? Does the shape matter? Position of the tap?

I got several of these a few years back @ 72 USD.

They don't leak.

I am looking for some aluminum tanks.
Could anyone recommend commercial off the shelf 1 gallon aluminum
tanks? I don't need anything over 100 psi.
ARB (Australian company) has some tanks that are about right, but I
have discovered that their machinists don't know the difference
between NPT and BSPT, which is problematic.
