I have three devices i need to mount. They are as follows:
- Arrow D12-04XL Desiccant Dryer/Filter ( larger diameter than the other 2 )
- Motor Guard CO4515 1/2 NPT Coalescing Filter
- Motor Guard RG4520 1/2 NPT Regulator

I have searched the Net and the manufacturers websites but can not find mounts for any of the devices. I know i can build a mount for the Arrow D12-04XL aince it has 4 mounting holes on the top. The Motor Guard devoces have no mountin holes but they have notchrd and bevelrd protrusions where the NPT fittings screw in.

- Does anyone know what size and pitch screws I need for the Arrow or where to find a store-bought mount with screws?
- How have you mounted the MG devices or where can I find store-bought mounts for those?
- If none of the above. what have you done to mount filters to the wall?

My plan is to mount the entire filtration system to a sheet of 3/4" plywood and then mount that to the wall.

If you could post some pictures of the filters, that would be helpful. Need to see if there are any mounting holes on the filters.
 
Here is what mine looks like. It came with the mounting brackets and bolts. This is what the bolt to the filter looks like. It is definitely not fine thread but does not match up to anything in my course thread gauge well so I'm not sure. It also has a bit of a taper to it.

Those look almost like wood screws. From your pictures, ti looks like you have a Motor Guard filter adjacent to the Arrow drier. Is that correct?
I added pictures as requested to the original post

Mine came assembled and each filter was labeled stage1,2,3,4 going left to right. Its not a wood screw nut kinda does look like one odd thread pattern for a metal assembly
 
Well, it turns out my original post was a trick question. After only a few answers I took a closer look at the drier. I stuck a pic into the mounting holes and found they were not tapped at all, just drilled and powder coated.

I rummaged through my drill bit drawer and found a hand-held tap driver with several taps stored in the handle. I have had this thing for 30 years and never even opened it to look inside. I grabbed the biggest tap in the set and Voila!, it was the right size. I turned out to be a 1/4"-20 tap.

The mount I made consists of:
2 x 4" L brackets
4 x 1/4"-20 x 1/2", large pan head screwws
8 x 1/4" washers (spacers)
- I had to drill an extra 1/4" hole, 1 1/4" from the outermost hole on one leg of each bracket to fit the drier mounting holes.

Cheers,
Emil
