    How to connect to this fitting?

    Here is a pic of a fitting on a duplex stainless buffer cylinder. The thread looks to be 1" BSPP. Any idea of the best way to connect to this? Is there some kind of gasket/o-ring/olive meant for these? or is it best to use a tapered fitting with pipe with dope and hemp?

They are those z type fittings to adjust to 150mm centre. I reckon if I can extend these by 10mm I can get enough thread...
