1/2" Tapered valve ????

That may be a metric tapered valve thread, not the standard US 1/2" NPT thread.

I have two sets of Poseidon and Draeger double tanks with a very similar threads. I had to have a special adapter machined to hydro test them. The adapter converts the metric thread to the standard 1/2" NPT thread available in any hydro facility in the US.

If it is the threads that I am referring about, it is a bit smaller that the 1/2" NPT.

Be careful not to try to force one type of threads into the other.

In either case it is probably hard to impossible to find new valves to fit. I was able to buy replacement valves from Poseidon, but that was about 30 years ago.

Good luck


Here are some pictures of the tanks and valves I am talking about:
