www.bcarms.com has a threaded schrader valve, but if i were you, i'd just go with a quick disconnect, much easier

I know that you can order threaded Schrader valves in 1/8" and 1/4" NPT on http://www.mcmaster.com. I got a couple myself and they work without any leaks as long as the threads are wrapped in Teflon.

I found some awesome ones at my local NAPA auto parts.

I musta spent months looking for a 1/4" one. Just go to your closest ace and they will order it for you with no shipping for like $3. mcmaster would be your 2nd best bet.

Yeah I found some at NAPA that had a flange with a rubber gasket. You would drill a hole, pass the valve through the hole from the inside, the gasket would be between the flange and the inside of the chamber, and there is a nut that threads on the outside of the chamber wall. Probably the safest way to mount a valve in my opinion...

Is the massive round thing at the back like fully squashed against the side of the pipe? You gotta pull it really hard, then glue it with epoxy...
If its leaking through the actual valve then i dunno.

Judging by his grammar he's not an American, so McMaster is out.
BC Arms ships across the globe, so that might be an option.

Or he could get an 8 mm compression fitting ( 1/4"without the cap) and compress that schrader until it screams for it's mother.

That always works for me :D

We gotta clarify something, and not to be racist or anything, but just because you live in the North American Continent does not make you and American. You are still a Mexican because you live in Mexico. Sorry if I sound like a (phallic object) but that is simply the way it is.
