The Dead Air DA402 P-Series Piston delivers precision threading compatibility for suppressors requiring M13.5x1 left-hand thread pitch. This black-finished piston ensures proper barrel-to-suppressor alignment while maintaining the structural integrity needed for high-pressure centerfire applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard right-hand threaded pistons, this left-hand variant accommodates European and specialty barrel threading specifications. The P-Series design incorporates Dead Air's enhanced sealing geometry that reduces carbon buildup and simplifies maintenance intervals. Manufactured to tighter tolerances than aftermarket alternatives, it maintains consistent lockup across temperature variations and extended firing schedules.
Key Features
- M13.5x1 left-hand thread pitch for European barrel compatibility
- P-Series enhanced sealing system reduces carbon fouling
- Precision-machined from heat-treated steel construction
- Black oxide finish resists corrosion and wear
- Compatible with Dead Air P-Series suppressor systems
- Self-timing design eliminates alignment guesswork
- Factory-tested dimensional accuracy within 0.001-inch tolerance
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling across centerfire calibers from 9mm through .45 ACP in both semi-automatic and full-automatic applications. The piston maintains zero shift consistency through rapid-fire strings and extended suppressor use. Temperature cycling from -20°F to 400°F shows no dimensional changes that affect threading engagement or suppressor attachment security.
