Many R134a gas cylinder supplied by BOC or Linde (but it is a quite common adapter for refrigerants HFC, Chlorine, Hydrogen Chloride ) has a bottle neck connector marked as BS341 No.6.

Although this is just a British standard but BOC doesn't mention its thread features. 

We offer 2 options:

* BS341 No.6 G5/8"-14 BSPP Female RH to 1/4" SAE Male Adaptor
* DIN 477 No.1 W21.8 × 1/14 Female LH to 1/4" SAE Male Adaptor

RH is a standard right-handed thread just like the 80% of the threads on earth. So the BOC bottle neck has a 5/8" male outlet and most of the HVAC - air conditioning tools have the normal 1/4" flare threads. In order to connect these two you will need a 5/8" female to 1/4" SAE flare male adapter which we offer here in this listing.

GASKET IS INCLUDED WITH THE FITTINGS!

This fitting is also identified by "diameter" such as 21.8mm

We also offer the same adaptor with LEFT HAND thread for A2L refrigerants.  You need to select which adapter you need.

Important: cylinder valve standards can vary by country, supplier and cylinder generation. Always check the thread and valve marking on the actual cylinder before connecting an adaptor. A G5/8"-14 BSPP RH BS341 No.6 connection is not interchangeable with W21.8 × 1/14" RH DIN 477 No.6, even though the threads look very similar.
