The AD Radial-8 Adaptive Solvent Trap
It Might Be Your Favorite Solvent Trap…
If you’ve visited Armory Den before, you know we offer a variety of solvent trap solutions, and new releases will become available soon. After handling several solvent trap kits offered in our line-up, the AD Radial-8 Adaptive Solvent Trap™ kit may be one of the best kits we’ve released thus far. There is no other solvent trap kit on the market that compares.
Its proven difficult for other companies to replicate and counterfeiters don’t even try.
This kit is manufactured with 7075 Aircraft Grade Aluminum and weighs in at 9.9oz. when fully assembled for transport. In its shortest configuration, the Radial-8 solvent trap kit is only 3.5oz.
Armory Den’s Adaptive Solvent Trap Kit lineup and is mechanically identical, touting a modular framework that allows for the user to configure their preferred cleaning setup.
Adaptive dry storage cups can be used with end caps to create storage compartments and are ultra-light. However, you will need to purchase additional end caps for each adaptive dry strorage if this is your goal. a different design than traditional cone style storage cups as traditional style storage cups seperate the interior of the tubes for storing essential items, or using them as quick use, discard and recycle option during cleaning. We call this the one cup method.
The adaptive dry storage cup, thread protector, end cap, and base of the adaptive solvent trap tube has an octagonal exterior. This allows easier tightening and untightening of the threads. Tight threads are important so there is no leakage. For now, rubberized tension wrenches or other tools can be used; eventually we will release a rubberized or resin coated octagonal wrench for this model.
We Listen to Customer Feedback!
Customer’s that have done business with Armory Den, know that we invest in our staff, infrastructure, and value not only our customers, but their feedback as well. Our chief cornerstone value is customer service, and we take pride in all feedback provided, and our staff speaks with upper management to take action on customer feedback, if possible. A great example of Armory Den’s propensity to act on customer feedback, is evidenced in the thread protectors included in our AD Radial-8 Adaptive Solvent Trap Kit.
Customers that purchase multiple solvent trap thread protectors had issues identifying the TPI of each mount. Generally, it is easy to identify the most common a 1/2×28” and 5/8×24” thread protector size. However, when placing the 1/2×28” and 5/8×24” beside the 9/16×24” or .578×28”, it proves difficult to know what size is what.
In response to this feedback, we had our product development team include imprints of the thread size on the internal side of the AD-Radial-8 thread protectors, including the 5/8×24” and 1/2×28” thread protectors which are included with each kit. The rarer thread protectors are sold separately.
Industry Standard Thread Pitch and Configurability
We pride ourselves on keeping up to date on market demand and what our customers actually want. Armory Den is not new to firearms, and our owners and operators each have at least a decade of experience in the industry, from firearms training, to licensed dealer experience, and more, so we only create and stock items we know the people want and that we would personally purchase for ourselves!
The Radial-8 Solvent Trap kit has a standard thread pitch of 1.375-24 TPI. Through our research and customer feedback, we found that some customers do not want to deal with direct threading their solvent traps to their firearms. This is because some firearms require tools and time to remove muzzles devices or other items they own in order to thread the solvent trap on for cleaning.
But There Is More!
To take configurability to the next level, we have decided to include our 1.375-24 TPI Male to 1.1875 TPI Female adapter in with this the AD adial-8 kits! This adapter converts the solvent trap kit into another industry standard thread pitch of 1.1875-24 TPI for further compatibility!
This allows this solvent trap kit to adapt to some of Armory Den’s muzzle devices for streamlined cleaning, and adapt to many other third-party devices sold by other companies.
