No. Thats why you have to make your own thread on the bottle. Simply file the thread on the bottle untill it bites into the ball valve thread and then just screw the ball valve onto the bottle. Because the thread on the ball valve is steel and pretty sharp, it cuts a new thread into the bottle pretty easy. Just make sure ya don't file too much off the bottle, otherwise it won't seal too good. Then unscrew it, add some teflon tape and bobs ya uncle!

Ah buggery. Typo.... Chaos is right. A 3/4in ball valve will fit on a bottle but the thread is wrong. Hence why ya gotta make ya own on the bottle. Sorry about that....

Umm I'm not overly sure but I wouldn't think so. Ya best bet is a Repco, Bob Jayne or anything that sells car parts, wheels/tires + accessories.

And it's a Schrader Valve your after. :D
